TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN PART OF THE LIFE OF THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS COMMUNITY

OF PHILADELPHIA:

Greetings,

Our Apostolate was created by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to provide a formal structure for

the community using the 1962 Missal at St Paul’s Church on Christian Street. When Fr Carey

left that parish the Community celebrated a Sung Mass each Sunday first at Holy Trinity Church,

6th and Spruce Streets and then at St Edmond’s Church at 21st Street and Snyder Ave. in South

Philadelphia. It was able to have a full Holy Week at Holy Trinity and has celebrated with High

Mass a number of the greater feasts at the Cathedral Basilica of SS Peter & Paul through the

hospitality of the Rector, Father Dennis Gill.

Despite the hard work and support of many, it became apparent that neither numbers nor income

was sufficient to sustain a Sunday Mass after the end of Paschaltide this year.

The Archdiocesan Worship Office suggested that regular worshippers at St Edmond’s would find

place at the long-established Mass in the Extraordinary Form celebrated at the Church of Our

Lady of Lourdes at 63rd Street and Lancaster Avenue in the Overbrook section of the City. The

Traditional Latin Mass Community of Philadelphia has therefore been attached to the Traditional

Latin Mass apostolate at that Parish.

Everyone associated with the work at St Paul’s and the other locations is welcome at the 9.30

a.m. Sung Mass each Sunday. It is hoped that many will attend and will add their support to the

work at Our Lady of Lourdes.

Father Michael Rock, O. de M., has warmly welcomed those coming to the Extraordinary Form

at the Parish. On the third Sunday of each month following Mass there is coffee and

refreshments in the Parish Hall and newcomers may find this a useful place to meet the Lourdes

congregation.

The Church is easily reached by public transportation either by the Paoli line of the Regional

Rail System (the Overbrook Station is served hourly on Sundays), and by trolley service from the

City Hall Station. Street Parking in the vicinity of the Church seems fairly easy to find.

We urge all our friends of the Traditional Latin Mass Community to support this celebration of

the Latin Mass with their presence and generosity.

John T Lilley,

Co-ordinator
