Superior of the FSSP to visit St. Patrick's in South Bend


The Superior of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, Fr. John Marcus Berg, F.S.S.P, will visit St. Patrick Catholic Church on Sunday, December 4th.

He will offer the Traditional Latin Mass, missa cantata, at St. Patricks at the usual time of 7:45am (address in the sidebar). He will also be available to meet and greet after Mass at the pot-luck breakfast in St. Patrick's Hall. (We could use a couple volunteers to help prepare something special for Father).

Fr. Berg is in the process of evaluating the needs of the new personal parish erected in the Diocese in Fort Wayne-South Bend (Sacred Heart Parish), and also the needs of the St. Mother Theodore Guérin Latin Mass Community in general. His considerations, of course, include how best to staff the new parish and how this staffing will benefit those attached to the Traditional Latin Mass in South Bend as well as Fort Wayne.

Please make sure you don't miss an opportunity to demonstrate how vibrant and faithful our community is in South Bend, and please tell any occasional attendees you might know about this special occasion on December 4th. It would be nice to fill the church for Fr. Berg, and in doing so, help along Fr. Gabet's request for an additional priest to help serve the Traditional Latin Mass communities in the diocese.

Also, this would be a great time to start another novena for this intention. Please join me in offering a rosary novena starting on Friday, November 25, that we might be blessed with an additional FSSP priest. Thanks!
