Sexagesima
Sunday Mass: MASS NEXT SUNDAY ( Quinquagesima
Sunday Mass: Confessions at Each Saturday: FIRST SUNDAY REFRESHMENTS Plan to
stay after Mass this Sunday (February 7) for light refreshments -- and
moderate conviviality in keeping with the pre-Lenten season of Septuagesima
-- in the Fr. Henkel Hall downstairs. Subsequently, on First Sundays when
refreshments are scheduled, there will be no confessions after Mass.
Please note above the Saturday afternoon confessions schedule here at Holy
Ghost Church. Current altar boys will
be measured for new cassocks and surplices after Mass this Sunday. ALTAR SERVERS FUND Few have
contributed as much to our traditional Latin Mass as our loyal corps of altar
servers. And several have served not only well but long enough to outgrow
their original cassocks and surplices. New cassocks and surplices cost about
$75 per altar boy. The Knoxville Latin Mass Community is therefore accepting
donations to the "Altar Server Fund". These donations can be
inserted in an ordinary envelope marked "KLMC Altar Server Fund"
and placed in the collection basket at the FR. ZUHLSDORF ON THE SEASON OF SEPTUAGESIMA Adapted
from his "Best Catholic Blog" wdtprs.com
(What Does The Prayer Really Say), the
traditionally minded Catholic's one-stop source for Church news urbi et orbi: In the
traditional Roman calendar the first Sunday of this brief three-Sunday
pre-Lenten season is called Septuagesima,
Latin for the “Seventieth” day before Easter. This number is more
symbolic than arithmetical. The Sundays which follow are Sexagesima (“sixtieth”) and Quinquagesima (“fiftieth”). Ash
Wednesday brings in Lent, called in Latin Quadragesima,
“Fortieth”. These pre-Lenten Sundays prepare us for the discipline of
Lent, which once was far
stricter. With the
new Mass there is no longer a season of preparation for Lent. We are grateful
that with Summorum Pontificum the
pre-Lenten Sundays have regained something of their ancient status. SOLEMN PONTIFICAL MASS (ancient form) SLATED FOR NATIONAL
SHRINE From an
announcement of the forthcoming Solemn Pontifical Mass to be offered by
Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos in the usus antiquior within the Basilica of
the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC: The Paulus
Institute announced today that on Saturday, April 24, 2010, at 1 p.m., the
fifth anniversary of inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI will be commemorated
in the Great Upper Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception, Washington DC, by a Pontifical Solemn High Mass in the
“Extraordinary form”—commonly known as the “Traditional Latin Mass” or
“Tridentine Mass”—celebrated by the Vatican prelate Darío
Cardinal Castrillón Hoyos of Colombia.
This will be the first such Mass said at the Shrine’s High Altar in
nearly 45 years. All Catholics are invited, many
of whom may never have another opportunity to attend such a Mass. Cardinal
Castrillón is the President Emeritus of the Vatican’s Pontifical Commission
