On Saturday, January 31st at 5:00 PM, a Missa Cantata will be offered in the Extraordinary Form for the feast of Saint John Bosco at the (new) chapel of Mary Help of Christians located in the lower level of Immaculate Conception Church, 414 E. 14th Street, Manhattan. It will be the first Traditional Mass in this parish in many years. The title of the chapel refers to the nearby, now-destroyed (Salesian) church of Mary Help of Christians. Its congregation joined Immaculate Conception parish.

Apparently, there is some strange and obscure reason why the Mass will be celebrated on that particular day; some sort of quirky calendar coincidence.
There’s a rumor going around that it’s the birthday of Mr Manuel Albino – New York Catholic layman extraordinaire. In fact, I expect to greet him there!
Will this be regularly offered?
It was a one-time special occasion. However, if there is sufficient interest, future Masses might be scheduled. Do you happen to live near the church of Immaculate Conception, Gilbertine?
Yes, in fact.
