Old St. Mary’s to Debut First Friday High Masses
We are delighted to report that as a direct result of the strong attendance at its first two Tridentine Masses, Detroit’s Old St. Mary’s Church will commence offering First Friday High Masses in the Extraordinary Form every month at 7:00 PM, beginning on Friday, April 1. Devotions appropriate to the season will be prayed, and Windsor’s St. Benedict Tridentine Community Choir will provide the music. Unique for an historic church, Old St. Mary’s enjoys excellent climate control and is warm in the winter and air conditioned in the summer. The parish is considering adding more Tridentine Masses to its schedule, depending on attendance on these First Fridays, so please try to make time to attend.
Masses for the Feast of St. Joseph
St. Joseph is a popular fellow around these parts. For one thing, he is the Patron Saint of Canada, therefore next Saturday, March 19, there will be a special High Mass at St. Alphonsus, Windsor at 12:00 Noon. Everyone is invited to a potluck lunch in the parish hall after Mass. St. Joseph Church in Detroit will hold its annual Day of Prayer for its namesake on March 19. There will be a Tridentine Mass at 6:00 PM. Consult the parish web site for details of additional offerings that day.
St. Michael-Pontiac Low Masses
Fr. Jake VanAssche has begun offering Tridentine Low Masses on the Saturdays of Lent at 10:00 AM at St. Michael Church in Pontiac. Prior to priestly ordination, Fr. Jake was a member of St. Stephen Church in New Boston, which held numerous Tridentine Masses. In recent years he has served as Subdeacon for a number of Solemn High Masses. Fr. Jake hopes to offer occasional High Masses in the future if turnout for this preliminary run warrants it.
Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica Mass
On Monday, October 3 at 7:00 PM, Fr. Ryan Adams will celebrate a Tridentine High Mass at the Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak for the Feast of St. Therese of Lisieux. The Mass is part of the Prayer Pilgrimages Bus Tour that day, but all are invited to attend the Mass. This will be the third Traditional Latin Masses offered at Shrine over the past several years. Fr. Ryan is an Assistant Pastor at Shrine and has celebrated several Tridentine Masses in our region since his ordination.
