First Sunday Mass (TLM) at Immaculate Conception, El Paso

Fr. John Shannon, FSSP, has informed us that his first Sunday Mass at Immaculate Conception (118 N. Campbell St) will be on Sunday, August 3, at 10am.

Our local FSSP seminarians will be helping him so that it can be a Missa Cantata. 

We ask everyone else to lend a hand in any way they are able, most importantly in spreading the word far and wide and encouraging many of the Catholic faithful to assist this beautiful Traditional Latin Mass.

Fr. Shannon has also given permission for the Rosary to be prayed prior to Holy Mass; so that will begin at 930am.

- Fr Shannon will also offer Mass on First Saturday (August 2) and tentatively has that scheduled for 9am.
 
 - We are also informed us that Fr. Kevin O'Neill will not have arrived yet in El Paso as of August 3rd, but will be arriving later on.

Traditional Latin Mass of Victoria, B.C., Canada

Sometimes we think we are all alone out here in the Southern NM desert praying and working for the establishment of a Traditional Latin Mass in this diocese.  Then, a few days ago, we find that others -- 2,000 miles away -- are praying with us for this blessing.  We received this email on July 2:

Dear Gregorian Society of Las Cruces:

 

I am having our members in Victoria, B.C., Canada pray for the restoration of an approved every-Sunday Traditional Latin Mass for the Diocese of Las Cruces.  Please keep me informed of the situation.  I hope that Bishop Cantu will consider your petitions and restore your Mass.

 

In Christo et Maria,

Perhaps each of us might offer a Rosary for these faithful partners.
