Philadelphia Traditional Latin Mass Community Moving to New Location

It is with great joy that the blog administrator informs you that effective June 7, the Philadelphia Traditional Latin Mass Community will move to St. Edmond's Church at 21st Street and Snyder Avenue in South Philadelphia.  St. Edmond's is a worship site within the parish of St. Monica's and has an adjacent, off-street parking lot as well as a rectory suitable for parish activities, receptions, etc.

The move to St. Edmond's will permit the priests who serve this community to make use of all the Mass options available to them, of particular note the use of incense.

The first Traditional Latin  Mass at St. Edmond's will take place on Corpus Christi Sunday and, weather permitting, may include an outdoor procession with the Blessed Sacrament.

Please keep the community in your prayers and spread the word.
