Latin Mass in Anchorage starting This Saturday

Unfortunate that it's on Saturday. Not conducive to normal parish life, but it's a beginning after all.

Beginning Saturday, March 6, 7:30 p.m., Holy Family Cathedral will regularly celebrate the extraordinary form of the Mass, more commonly known as the Tridentine Mass. The Saturday evening Mass will be a vigil Mass which will fulfill the Sunday obligation for Mass.

The Tridentine rite – which is said in Latin – was the standard Roman Catholic liturgy before the Second Vatican Council (1962-65). In his July 2007 apostolic letter, Pope Benedict XVI reasserted its wider usage.

Young men interested in serving at the Mass should contact Father Vincent Kelber at 276-3455.
