FatherZ: Pontifical TLM in … Miami? Miami!

I learn about this here.

Archbishop Thomas Wenski of Miami will be celebrate a Pontifical High Mass at Miami’s Church of the Epiphany (7:30pm) on 2 February 2012, Feast of the Presentation.

This will be the first time in over 40 years that a bishop has celebrated a Pontifical High Mass, according to the Missal of 1962, in the State of Florida. The Mass is part of a symposium jointly sponsored by both Nova Southeastern University and Church Music Association of America.

The symposium is titled “Gregorian Chant and Modern Composition for the Catholic Liturgy: Charles Tournemire’s ‘L’Orgue Mystique’ as Guide ” The Mass will feature the French composer and organist’s compositions for the Feast of the Presentation.

For more information about the Symposium, see here.

Of course in this state, Bishop Morlino has celebrated the Traditional Mass....  I'm not sure if he has celebrated a Pontifical Mass though?  Perhaps Madison Cathedral folks could fill us in.  I know there is at least one bishop in Minnesota celebrating the Traditional Mass but he as of yet has not celebrated a Pontifical Mass.  As far as I know, Cardinal Burke has never said the Traditional Mass in the state of Wisconsin(at least publicly)...  It seems like that should be a trivia question considering how many other states and countries he has Pontifical-ed in.

Yes, Bishop Morlino's TLM was a pontifical Mass. Cardinal Burke consecrated St. Mary's Oratory in Wausau according to the old rite while he was the diocesan bishop. We're blessed in Wisconsin.

I believe there was a Pontiifical High Mass at St. Francis de Sales Church inh St.Louis, Mo.
However I am not sure it was celebrated the Arcbishop Raymond Burke.
