Come one come all to the Traditional Latin Mass at St.Josaphat Church,Detroit..

Traditional Latin Mass 9:30 am

Confessions [Fr.Borkowski or Fr.Kosnac]
8:45 to when done at the front right confessional left of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ side altar, by the Vatican flag.

Come one come all
Address:
St.Josaphat church
691 E. Canfield
Detroit,MI

Coming from I-75[South]
Enter into the Warren #53A]exit and drive down the Chrysler service drive about a half a mile. Turn right at the church for parking.

Everyone else go to Yahoo Maps and try to locate the Church from your address
 
Latin mass at a Polish parish, interesting although a bit far for me to drive from Pennsylvania.

I presume the Fr. Borkowski delivers the sermon is the traditional Polish?
 
Actually, Fr. Berkowski doesn’t celebrate the latin mass, they’ve had several priests come in (a couple bishops too) to celebrate. The sermons and second readings of the epistle and gospel are in English, not Polish. Fr. Kosnac celbrates on occasion and he does mass very well. Fr. Berkowski probably doesn’t celebrate because he’s got so much on his plate; he’s administrator of 3 ENORMOUS churches with dwindling membership and is focusing on reviving them (or at least I’m guessing).

St. Josaphat is a remarkable church that looks relatively unchanged from when it was built. The masses there are quite beautiful with a great cantor and organist. I don’t get too much opportunity to get out to Detroit (40 minute drive) but I do when I can. Its quite an experience to go to mass there. I recommend it if you get a chance.

Do the confessions have to be made in Latin too? :rolleyes:
 
Dale Price has been blogging about this at his blog “Dyspeptic Mutterings.”

I wish! Sadly, that’s only in Poland. I have tried to get some Polish priests to say the Mass. Fr.Borkowski is an American with a Polish last name who went to seminary in Poland. He can speak Polish but not fluently.

Do you know that Wawel [yes in Krakow at the Cathderal by the Castle] has daily Latin Mass?

pm1853:
Fr.Borkowski has celebrated Mass once. It was a snowday Mass.
There are also the altar boys, but ya’ know they don’t deserve any credit…
 
Pretty church. Are all the masses high masses/ missa cantantas?
That’s not nice that you can’t have holy days of obligation, Christmas, etc… only tridentine on sundays.
It’s also not very cool that you can’t get baptised, married, etc… in the old latin rite either.
Anyway, maybe the community will work its way to that.
 
Every Mass thus far has been a Missa Cantata. It would take strong opposition of a particular celebrant, or a last minute emergency on the part of our music director, for us to have a Low Mass. So far, even the most musically reluctant celebrants have been gracious in understanding the important role music plays in the TLM.

Someone desiring a wedding or funeral at St. Josaphat has the option of a Novus Ordo Latin Mass celebrated ad orientem. Our pastor Fr. Borkowski wants to do the best he can within the current diocesan restrictions.
 
The Mass last Sunday with Fr. Kosnac was great.🙂
It was great that it also had Benediction.
I hear from one parishioner that Fr. Borkowski has asked that benediction be done once a month. If thats the case its a very good idea especially since its the Year of the Eucharist.
