DENTON, Nebraska, JUNE 8, 2010 (Zenit.org).- Since the Second Vatican Council, Catholics have been attending Mass said in their native tongue. Today, Latin references are completely foreign to some, and lingering memories to others.

But then there are those who are dedicated to keeping the Latin liturgy alive, and included in this group is the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, a growing community of priests that are devoted to celebrating the extraordinary form of the Mass.

As many religious orders are desperately praying for vocations, this community has young men waiting to get into their seminary program at the Our Lady of Guadalupe Seminary in Denton.

This relatively new society of priests – founded in 1988 – has garnered the attention of, not only those who seek to go back to the Latin Mass, but also those who want to share in the beauty, the reverence and the piety of the traditional Latin Mass for the first time…

That article was very humble and beautiful!!! Thanks so much for posting! It is lovely what they said about the Mass saving their priesthood… I never thought of it from the priest’s perspective before 🙂
 
Great article. Wish more priests would take advantage of the FSSP’s offer to train them. I know of at least 4 diocesan priests that have learned to celebrate the EF but only rarely celebrate it (in the Seattle Archdiocese).

I only know of Father Lappe at Our Lady, Star of the Sea. Who else is there?
 
Nowhereman,
At this time I have been asked not to reveal their names. They are running under the radar until a new Abp is appointed. But, yes, there are several that will one day start celebrating the Mass. So pray hard for a Trad friendly new Abp (and soon).

Is he getting older? Or are there chances that the Pope would replace him? Because the Holy Father has been appointing VERY traditional bishops, and judging by the way things have been going I get the idea that God is getting tired of our irreverence and lack of faith, so I’d bet that the next Pope will be just the same 🙂

I’m very excited and I will most cerainly be praying! Thanks for the info, Corsair. :D:thumbsup:
 
According to the latest info that I have received from Seattle, the Abp has submitted his resignation and it has been accepted by Rome. In fact the Abp is pretty much out of the Chancery and acting like he is retired.

The latest letter that I received from him indicates that he has “no intention” of adding any more EF Masses within the Diocese. He said that if that is where my heart lay, then I should drive to Seattle to the N.A.M., which I do but its 120 miles each way.
