Holy Trinity Traditional Latin Mass Community: Beginnings

Today marked the second Sunday in our new home at Holy Trinity Church located at 625 Spruce Street in the Society Hill section of Philadelphia.  Many of those who formerly assisted at Mass at St. Paul's have made the transition and there are some new faces in the congregation as well.  Please continue to pray that our community will flourish for the greater glory of Almighty God.  Please pray for Father  Ronald W. Check, our chaplain, and for all the priests who will be be part of the rotation at Holy Trinity.  They are, in addition to Father Check: Father Gerald P. Carey, Father Harold B. McKale and Father Jason V. Kulczynski.

One of the most immediate concerns of the congregation was parking and thanks be to God, that need has been addressed.   Please see the information at the bottom of this page for information on available parking near the church.

Father Check will hear confessions on Sundays  from 11:35 AM until about 5 minutes to Noon.

What follows are some photos from the interior of Holy Trinity.  We have the use of a beautiful and historic church which is perfectly conducive to offering the Extraordinary Form of the Mass.  And we are especially blessed to have Father Check to direct and coordinate our efforts to offer fitting and reverential  worship to Almighty God.

    I received the URL for your blog yesterday and have added its RSS feed. The blog is quite beautiful! Just FYI, I link to the TLM Propers of the Mass each day according to the Ordo of the F.S.S.P. and checked against the Baronius Missal. I always post Propers one day in advance, and this is available on my Twitter feed. I also aggregate some blog "roundups" each day and evening for items I find of interest. I also have a list of TLMs in and around the Metro DC, Northern VA and Baltimore areas which I try to update frequently and which is of help to out of town visitors to the Capitol.

    Pax tecum!

    Good move on the Archdiocese's part in beginning this Mass and putting Fr. Check in charge. I hope that this Latin Mass community flourishes for many years to come!

    Just relocated to Philly and hope to make it to TLM at least 1-2x/mo (alternating with the NO at the Cathedral on Race). God bless!

    There is a TLM at St. Albert the Great in Huntingdon Valley ( a suburb of Philadelphia) that takes place on the evening of First Friday and on the morning of First Saturday. The Philadelphia chapter of the Latin Liturgy Association may have more information on their website. Both TLM's are low Masses and I know confessions are usually heard before the First Friday TLM. Hope that helps.\
