TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS
Starting January 2019 the First Sunday of each month there will be a 5:00 pm Latin Mass at IHM Church.
At Midnight on Christmas the Traditional Latin Mass Society of San Francisco sponsored a Latin Mass in our parish. Father Alvin Yu was the celebrant. He is a Parochial Vicar at St. Mathew’s in San Mateo and Director of Liturgy at St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park. He was ordained a priest in 2017. The TLM Society of San Francisco works in the Bay Area to sponsor, foster, and encourage celebrations of the Traditional Latin Mass. Recently, these young people have asked me if they could continue to have Latin Masses at IHM. With the approval of Archbishop Cordileone and with my permission, I have agreed that there can be at IHM a regular Latin Mass on the first Sunday of each month at 5pm.
The next Mass with be on Sunday, January 6th, The Solemnity of the Epiphany, at 5pm. This will also be a Solemn High Mass. The society will arrange approved priests (with a letter of good standing in the Archdiocese) and with my final invitation and approval, provide altar servers, and cover any added expenses involving music etc. Fr. Alvin Yu will usually be the celebrant, but there will be other approved priests from time to time. The collections will go to support IHM.
Yours in the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Fr. Mark G. Mazza, pastor
