Two Rural Parishes Plan Latin Masses This Fall

St. Joseph Parish in Apple Creek and sister parish St. Maurus in Biehle plan to celebrate a regular weekly Tridentine Latin Mass beginning this fall.

An 11:15 a.m. Sunday Latin Mass will be celebrated on a rotating basis alternating months at the two Perry County parishes. The first Latin Mass is set to take place Nov. 4 at St. Maurus.

Father Anthony A. Dattilo [pictured, left], pastor of both parishes, will celebrate the Mass. It is being added at the request of parishioners, he told the Review in an interview this week.

What wonderful news for the faithful of the southern part of the Archdiocese of St Louis.



As Fr Powell correctly reminds us, we should be using the same terminology as the Holy Father - in this case, the "Extraordinary" form of the Roman Rite. Perhaps someone should forward a note to the St Louis Review?
