Missa Cantata in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite celebrated on February 3rd in the Princeton University Chapel by Fr. Carlos Hamel of the Fraternity of St. Joseph the Guardian (yet another remarkable initiative of the diocese of Frejus-Toulon), assisted by Br. Gerhard ( recent graduate of Princeton) and followed by a blessing of the throats. The mass was sponsored by the Aquinas Institute (the Catholic Campus Ministry at Princeton University). The photos are from the Facebook page of the Aquinas Institute.

This was not the first Traditional Mass in the chapel. We do not know if Catholic masses were ever celebrated here in the pre-conciliar days. We were, however, able to find in our archives pictures of at least one nuptial Traditional mass celebrated in the chapel – in July 1989(above and below). That mass, however, was not connected with the Aquinas Institute but was under the jurisdiction of St. Paul’s (the parish church of Princeton). Readers may note that the celebrant of the mass is a certain well-known Catholic leader in the Traditionalist and pro-life causes…
