Earthquake Mass in Milwaukee

In the next couple of weeks, there will be an earthquake in Milwaukee.

That's really the significance of an upcoming first Mass. While in the Ordinary Form (NOT the "old" Mass), it will be all in Latin except for the readings, of course.

A professional-grade chorus and schola will sing all the Propers from the Liber (Sunday after Ascension), and a chamber orchestra and soloists will join them for the Ordinary: Haydn's "St Nicholas Mass". In addition, Mozart's Ave Verum will be sung.

While you're recovering from that 7.2/Richter, here's the aftershock: this priest is NOT from somplace else; he's from Milwaukee and is incardinated here.

Heh.

This will be a lot of fun.

Wait, isn't there already a parish on the south side that has the Latin Mass?

Not in the Ordinary Form, except for one parish which has "occasional" Latin. Yo may be thinking of an Extraordinary Form place on the South Side.

This one is front-to-back Latin, but in the "new Rite."

When and where? Not as exciting as the Extraordinary form but I'll take it.

God bless soon-to-be Fr. Erich Weiss! I wonder what some of the old guard thinks of him and Fr. Sean Granger and Fr. Nate Reesman...

Deo gratias!

Dave:

Fr. Reesman and Co. are the new breed of priests; Nothing could help the Church more. Also very exciting to know that the Weakland gang is slowly retiring into shame.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Fr. Granger. It would not surprise me at all if he privately celebrates the EF.
