Congratulations to Bishop-elect Uglietto!

Latin Mass Community North extends our warmest congratulations and encourages fervent prayers for the new North Regional Vicar, Bishop-elect Peter J. Uglietto, as he prepares for ordination to the Sacred College of Bishops on September 14, the Feast of the Holy Cross. Ad multos annos!

Farewell to Fr. Marino!

Suspension of Saturday Masses in Lynn

Over 150 people turned out on a Tuesday night at St. Adelaide Church in Peabody to assist at Solemn High Mass for the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul and to wish Fr. Daniel Marino-Barragan well as he returns to his native Spain after serving as parochial vicar of St. Joseph Parish in Lynn. Fr. Marino offered the Mass on the 13th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood, and the 2nd anniversary of the return of the Latin Mass to the North Shore.

The Saturday AM Low Mass that had been offered by Fr. Marino at St. Joseph unfortunately must be suspended, effective now, due to lack of clergy available to offer it at that time. We ask for your prayers for the pastor and community of St. Joseph Parish.

However, as a practical matter, all Masses in Methuen are subject to last-minute cancellation. We strongly encourage interested persons to contact the parish office at 978-683-1193 on the day of each Mass (or the weekday before) to find out the status.

Prayers for Priests

Thank you for those who joined in our 54-Day Rosary Novena for Lawrence.

Please continue to pray for this intention, and also for the courageous priests who are celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass, for the priests and seminarians who are learning to say the Traditional Latin Mass, for those who are thinking about learning, for traditional-minded men who are discerning vocations to the priesthood, and for all who are discerning a religious vocation.
