Lost Lambs

I stumbled upon this gem of an article it is Short So I will post in its entirety-

NEWCASTLE, Maine—A Roman Catholic church that touts itself as the oldest in New England is preparing for a bicentennial celebration in Maine.

St. Patrick Catholic Church will hold activities this weekend to mark the completion of its first church building in 1808. Festivities begin Saturday with a ringing of the church bell, one of the last church bells cast by Paul Revere before his death.

Bishop Richard Malone will celebrate Mass in the modern $2 million building completed in 2004 and there will be a Latin Mass in the original building, which still stands. The original small brick church sits on a hill and overlooks the Damariscotta River.

Did you Catch it?
Did you See!??!

I quote again…

…and there will be a Latin Mass in the original building, which still stands..

The Parish built in 1808 will have a Bicentennial mass in the form that the first mass celebrated there took place. AMAZING DEO GRATIAS!!!!!

They have a website complete with Virtual tour HERE

About the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter

Established in 1988 by Pope John Paul II, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter is an international

society of Catholic priests entrusted with the preservation and administration of the Catholic

Church’s ancient Latin liturgical traditions. Over 120 seminarians are preparing for the

priesthood in the Fraternity’s two seminaries in Bavaria, Germany and Denton, Nebraska

This is awesome, I wonder if WolfTracker will try sponsoring another priest from the area.

That reminds me that my Summorum Pontificum Kit is still available to any local area priest that contacts me at lostlambs (at) chillplace (dot) net

Help Spread the word of all these resources to learn the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite

Above is a photo of Bishop Finn Celebrating his first mass in the Extraordinary Form, Bishop Finn prayed the mass in gratitude of the Holy Father’s Motu Proprio “Summorum Pontificum”

Other Bishops and priests have sought out the resources to learn how to pray this Extraordinary Form of the mass, this is where the Lost Lambs Lending Library hopes to help.

I am currently offering to lend to any Priest in the Kansas City Area some very helpful materials to learn how to pray the mass.
