Solemn Mass for Ascension at St Mary's Pine Bluff at 6:30PM

The forty days, which St. Luke tells us in Acts had passed between Christ’s Resurrection and His glorious Ascent into Heaven, are nearly completed.

On Thursday, May 30, at 6:30 PM, we will have a Solemn Mass at St. Mary’s Pine Bluff to commemorate the Ascension of Our Lord.


Milwaukee Latin Mass Permission Slip from 1985

This was posted two days ago on a Twitter account called Cream City Catholic, a 1985 letter from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee granting someone permission to attend the traditional Latin Mass. It would be interesting to know what the specific conditions were that had to be satisfied before such permission was granted, as stated in the opening paragraph. We should also note the conditions attached, that the letter had to be presented at the chapel to gain admission, and that the permission could not be extended to anyone else (“not able to be extended to other friends or family members.”)

Reader seeking TLM in the Menomonee Falls area

From a reader:
First, thank you for the Badger Catholic blog. I followed it when I was away from Wisconsin. Now that I am home, I read more regularly.

Now to my question. I have struggled to find Latin Mass options in Milwaukee (I live in Menomonee Falls) and recalled having seen a list on your blog. But the page doesn’t look current. I’m hooked on the First Friday Extraordinary Form at St Mary Visitation (Elm Grove) with Musica Oramus, which you’ve mentioned on the blog. Wondering if there are more?
Thanks for reading and welcome back!  Yes, that Mass times listing post was compiled with the help our friends at the TMS of Madison.  Blogging for a million years like me makes me realize that some posts don't age well.  However, it is still helpful to know where there are or have been Latin Mass groups, but keeping up with Mass time changes is not doable. 

On to the question.  Well, a guy like me would be doing what he could to get to St. Stanislaus.  I know it's on the south side, but I would think from most places in Menomonee Falls that you could take 41 and make the trip in about 30 minutes or so.  Even in little La Crosse here it takes us about 15-20 minutes to get to our parish.  Ideally you could find something closer to home though.  The archdiocese website does list Latin Mass times (I didn't realize Sheboygan had one).

I'll reopen comments today.  Feel free to chime in.

TLM at Immaculate Conception in Cedar Rapids, IA April 17th


Photos: Traditional Confirmations in Madison

First Traditional Latin Mass at great Chicago North Side church in almost 60 years


via FatherZ
I had a note from a reader that St. Stanislaus Kostka, nearly taken out by the building the Kennedy Expressway, will have its first TLM in many decades.

Everyone one in Chicagoland should go and support this Mass. It is very important.

Here is a link to our Facebook event page for this Holy Mass:

The monks decided to burn the books, “to prevent them getting into the hands of traditionalists”

Many young Catholics feel that they have been denied an inheritance that was rightly theirs. They have had to reassemble piecemeal something that should have been handed to them intact. An English academic recently told me of his attempt to obtain a copy of the Dictionnaire de théologie catholique, a reference book that went from impeccable authority to liber prohibitus at the time of the Council. He contacted a Belgian who helped declining religious houses dispose of their libraries. This Belgian found a Franciscan community that was willing to sell its set – but at the last moment took a different course. The monks decided to burn the books, “to prevent them getting into the hands of traditionalists”.

Bp. Cozzens offers Pontifical High Mass and Confirmation at St Mary's Basilica in Minneapolis

Here are a few photos from last nights beautiful Confirmation and Mass in our Archdiocese. Last night it was very encouraging to see so much effort put forward by so many for the traditional liturgy.

Confirmations in the Traditional Rite followed by a Pontifical High Mass at the Faldstool took place June 7th, 2017, at the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis, MN celebrated by the Most Reverend Andrew Cozzens. The music, featuring Palestrina’s Missa Papae Marcelli, was provided by the Chorus Omnium Sanctorum. Confirmands from five area parishes participated and nearly 700 were in attendance.

Absolutely stunning photo.  Cdl. Burke was at one point scheduled to offer a pontifical at the basilica but it was cancelled at the last minute.  This is the first Bp. Cozzens Pontifical Mass I've heard of, not sure if it's actually his first.  I suspect so.  I lost the card of the Una Voce of St Paul & Minneapolis member I met at AOTM last month.... maybe St. Anthony can find that for me so I can follow up with him. I've heard the FSSP parish in Minneapolis is doing quite well.

NLM: Pontifical Baptism in the Traditional Rite in Madison

Today, we bring you pictures from one of the rarest liturgies in practice, the pontifical baptism from the 1962 ritual books. The celebrant was His Excellency Bishop Robert Morlino; the ceremony occurred several weeks ago at St Patrick’s church, with a family from the Cathedral of Madison, Wisconsin.

Great photos, worth a peak!

Musica Oramus EF Explanation and Mass Returns this Weekend!

The venerable Musica Oramus group, based in Elm Grove, WI, will continue their series on explaining the Extraordinary Form of the Mass this Sunday at 2pm at St. Mary's Visitation Parish in Elm Grove.

The afternoon will consist of two talks, beginning at 2pm, with the Extraordinary Form of the Mass to follow at 3pm (this will fulfill your Sunday obligation).  Fellowship and refreshments will follow the Mass.



The Presenters:

Fr. Nathaniel Miniatt, was ordained this past spring for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and is currently the Associate Pastor at St. John Vianney parish in Brookfield.  Fr. Miniatt grew up in Beaver Dam and eventually studied Philosophy at the Catholic University of Lueven in Belgium and the North American College in Rome where he completed his S.T.B. and S.T.L. (in Sacred Liturgy).  He will speak on how to pray through the Traditional Latin Mass, with special emphasis on how to avoid the trap of frustration or distraction when you cannot "keep up with the priest".

Joshua Dieterich is the Adult Formation Director at St. Mary's Visitation Parish in Elm Grove.  He studied Church History at Catholic Theological Union in Chicago and Catechetics at Franciscan University of Steubenville.  He will speak on the proper understanding of an interior "full, conscious, active participation" in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and how this can be applied to the praying of both the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Mass.

The final session of this series will be March 5th at St. Mary's Visitation, and will feature a dinner reception following the Mass.

Cardinal Burke answers question: Should we go to the "Novus Ordo"

I sent a BC spy(you thought the NSA was bad) to the KC talk: 
750+ people on Friday night for Cardinal Burke. Standing room only in a large gymnasium. Good talk. He took some questions that had been submitted on paper. First question was about whether we should go to "Novus Ordo" or Extraordinary Form for Mass.

- He said the important thing was to go to Mass, not if it was the Ordinary Form or Extraordinary Form.
- He said both are the unbloodied sacrifice of Christ on the cross and both are valid.
- He said if we felt like we got more out of one than the other, by all means go to one or the other.


He handled it very well. People applauded loudly, much to the dismay of numerous SSPX people in the audience.

Chicago's Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica will host first TLM in 40 years Dec 30

The painting to the left has not been forgotten
Chicago's amazing Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica will host its first Traditional Latin Mass in over 40 years at 3:00 PM on Friday, December 30. The Mass will be part of the annual Christmas week bus tour of historic Chicago churches organized by Prayer Pilgrimages, featured in Extraordinary Faith Episode 4, along with another High Mass in the Extraordinary Form at St. Mary of the Angels Parish at 12:30 PM on Thursday, December 29. Everyone is invited to both Masses; you do not need to be part of the bus tour.

Our Lady of Sorrows Basilica is well-known for being the site of the film narrated by Archbishop Fulton Sheen, The Immemorial Tridentine Mass. Its massive High Altar and arcade of Side Altar alcoves are quite something to behold.


This blogger visited Our Lady of Sorrows a few years ago. Kudos and congrats Chi-town Catholics!  Hope you can make it to both!

St. Patrick's Oratory, Green Bay, WI


We had gone to the Oratory in Green Bay, oohhh, what two months ago?  As you can see I'm really on the ball with the posts these days.  It was the Giants game, which they won(! right before all that losing started), and yes, in fact I did take my wife to a Packers game for her birthday and we had a marvelous time darlings!

St. Patrick's is definitely an improvement from the previous chapel at the diocesan center.  I had come down with a pretty good cold so could not belt out singing from the pews.  Adoration and Benediction was immediately after Mass, a very nice touch.  I wonder how a step like this could vastly improve the spirituality of an Ordinary Form parish, especially if it were during one of the liturgical seasons.  It's really nice to have the Institute here in Green Bay as an option, especially considering how many visitors are in the area both for a certain NFL team but also for the Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help(yes traditionalists also have a devotion to the BVM).  Other than the Cathedral, I'm under the impressions there's not a whole lot of options for the JPII generation in the Fox Valley area although we have had comments on this blog about St. Pius X parish in Appleton improving.  But yes, an excellent Mass, lots of altar boys, unfortunately without posting this more timely my memory fades to recall any other details.  At least we have some photos to share though.

Card. Burke challenges Pope's relegation of the Latin Mass

Cardinal Burke directly rejects the Holy Father's characterisation of the Latin Mass as an "exception" in his interview with the online newspaper La Fede Quotidiana [FQ]:

FQ: In the new book by Father Spadaro “In your eyes is my word” Pope Francis called the traditional Roman rite an “exception”. What do you think about this?

Cardinal Burke: That it is no exception. It is the Mass of the Church of all times and therefore it can not be overthrown and has equal dignity. For the rest, the motu proprio of Pope Benedict XVI is sufficient. It is unambiguous.

Hey, by the way, did y'all hear the Cardinal is having a Pontifical Mass at the Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse in a few weeks?

Fascinating Rare Footage of Mass During WWII

Among the many heroes of WWII, people often forget that clergymen also risked their lives in the war. They weren’t there to fight against flesh and blood, but to offer help fighting the spiritual battle that continues even (especially?) during war.

Below are 7 amazing videos of Mass being celebrated in war zones by brave priests during WWII. Note that since it was before the Second Vatican Council, the Mass that was celebrated was what is today called the Extraordinary Form.
