Catholic Review Online: Manchester parish to celebrate traditional Latin Mass on Pentecost

The Catholic Review Online carries a story dated today by George P. Matysek, Jr. on the return of the TLM to Saint Bartholomew's Parish in Manchester, MD. This blog has mentioned that Mass several times. Here is a short snippet from his article:

Monsignor Robert Jaskot, chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, called the regional celebration of the extraordinary form of the Mass a “first step” for the Baltimore archdiocese. The rite is celebrated every week at the Shrine of St. Alphonsus in Baltimore.

“It’s the intention of the archbishop to make this extraordinary form available,” he said. “We want to make sure we do things correctly and we do them well.”

Monsignor Jaskot noted that it takes special training to make sure priests are prepared to celebrate the liturgy properly. Not only is the rite said in Latin, it also involves particular gestures and rubrics that must be learned.

Archbishop Edwin F. O’Brien is looking at how the extraordinary rite can be made more available, said Monsignor Jaskot.

It should be mentioned that Monsignor Jaskot will become Director of the Archdiocesan Office of Worship this coming Fall.
