TLM returns to largest Catholic university

From the blog of Societas Ecclesia Dei Sancti Joseph - Una Voce Philippinensis:

"As previously announced, the evening of August 24, 2012 saw the Traditional Latin Mass being celebrated in public in the University of Santo Tomas (UST) for the first time since the liturgical reforms [sic] of Paul VI took effect." [more here]

The Mass had good attendance and friendly coverage by the school newspaper.

Pontifical High Mass at St. Peter's Basilica

This morning, for the first time in almost 50 years, a Pontifical High Mass was celebrated at the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter's.

God bless the Pope, Cardinal Brandmüller, Cardinal Bartolucci and the good souls who worked to make this Mass possible.

(Cdl Brandmüller sang the Mass, Cdl Bartolucci conducted the choir).

Yesterday saw the first celebration of a Pontifical High Mass by a diocesan bishop in his own cathedral in quite a while.

Deo gratias. Long live Bishop Tobias.
