First Tridentine Mass of Fr. David Johnston

Congratulations to Fr. David Johnston, who was ordained to the sacred priesthood for the Diocese of London, Ontario on April 23. He has been studying the Tridentine Mass and will celebrate his first Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form on Sunday, May 29 at 1:30 PM for the Latin Mass community of London, Ontario at Holy Angels Church in St. Thomas. We look forward to Fr. Johnston joining our roster of regular celebrants of the Traditional Latin Mass in our region.

Juventútem Michigan is once again organizing the Mass, though people of all ages are welcome. Fr.
