We received this note from a reader:

“There is  an every Sunday TLM at 9:00 a.m. at the parish church of Saint Anthony, 1496 Commonwealth Avenue, Bronx, NY 10460. On holy days of obligation that don’t fall on Sunday, the TLM is scheduled for 10 a.m.

Since July 2016, the administrator (i.e., pastor in all but name) of Saint Anthony parish has been Father Louis J. Anderson. Just like his predecessor, Father Miara (now pastor of Holy Innocents), Father Anderson is a strong advocate of Tradition. The lack of support that Saint Anthony’s nearly decade-long commitment to the TLM has received from Trads within easy driving distance of the church is most saddening.”

Tomorrow, Monday, January 2, Holy Name of Jesus Church will offer a Missa Cantata at 3 pm for its patronal feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus.  The church address is 245 Prospect Park West.

Rorate Mass this morning at St Mary’s Greenwich. As you can see from these pictures and the prior post of this day, the inclement weather was no obstacle to this newly popular Advent devotion. (St. Mary’s Greenwich and St. Mary’s Norwalk are roughly 12 miles apart)
