God Bless you Father! My family has yet to attend a TLM, and we are truly looking forward to this most wonderful opportunity. You are truly a gift to the Faithful...
What a blessing! My own pastor will be offering this liturgy regularly starting with the first Sunday of Advent. The people are grateful to those priests willing to take the time and resources to provide this beautiful and sacred, time honored, liturgy to the faithful.
Bravo Father, the chance for your parishners to attend a TLM once a week is wonderful. We are fortunate to have a parish near us that we can drive up for a TLM any day of the week-such a blessing-I know how thrilled your parisherns must be. God Bless you for living your vocation.
