I hope as many of you who can will attend this Requiem Mass for Msgr. Barreiro. For many years he was a leader in the pro-life apostolate and in the cause of the Traditional Mass. A reception will follow the service at which Prof. John Rao will speak about the life of Msgr. Barreiro and the events of Catholic Traditionalist history in which he participated. Prof. Rao is eminently qualified for this task – he knew Msgr. Barreiro well and is currently working on a history of the development of Catholic Traditionalism.

This Society had the opportunity to work with Msgr. Bevins in the revival of the Traditional Mass at Immaculate Conception parish after Summorum Pontificum. The photograph above shows the first celebration of the Traditional Mass at that church in some forty years. (November 18, 2007 – Msgr. Bevins is at left in choir). On October 26, 2008, we assisted at a Missa Cantata celebrated by Msgr. Bevins himself.

Since those days there have been many twists and turns for the Traditional Mass in Waterbury. But since 2019 the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest has administered the parish of St. Patrick in that city. But this was possible because of the foundations laid years before by many others – and especially by Msgr. John Bevins. R.I.P.
