Franciscan Priest Celebrates First Tridentine Mass
Franciscan Priest Celebrates First Tridentine Mass
The first priest to be ordained for the new, Phoenix-based Franciscan Friars of Holy Spirit just this past June, Fr. Athanasius Fornwalt, FHS, celebrated his first Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form at Old St. Mary’s Church on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Fr. Athanasius is studying at Detroit's Sacred Heart Major Seminary and took advantage of Extraordinary Faith’s celebrant training program. He serves as Post-Novitiate Director for his order, overseeing men receiving their formation at Sacred Heart Seminary. Widely traveled, Fr. Athanasius has formerly served as one of the Masters of Ceremony at Washington, DC’s Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. We hope to see him celebrating Tridentine Masses for us around the region in upcoming months.

Christmas Mass Schedule
Many Tridentine Mass sites in our area will be holding Christmas Day Masses. Those that have been announced thus far are:First Friday and First Saturday Tracker Holy Cards
- St. Joseph: 12:00 Midnight, 9:00 AM [Low Mass], 11:00 AM

Every once in a while a simple concept comes to fruition that makes you wonder, “Why didn’t someone think of this before?” In the December Fraternity of St. Peter Meménto newsletter mailing, two cards were included that allow one to track one’s progress in making the nine First Friday and five First Saturday devotions. Graces are attached to those who persist in attending Holy Mass and performing the prescribed works on successive First Fridays and First Saturdays; this is the first instance of a convenient means of recordkeeping being made widely available. It is possible that additional copies of these cards may be obtained by contacting the FSSP. Their Meménto newsletter is available free of charge by signing up at: https://fssp.com/subscribe/
