Missa Cantata – Feast of Saint Vincent Pallotti
Following the Mass, all are invited to venerate the Relic of Saint Vincent Pallotti

St. Vincent Pallotti, Priest (Feast – January 22) Born in Rome in 1795, St. Vincent became a priest and dedicated himself completely to God and cared for souls. He dreamed of gaining for Christ all non-Catholics, especially the Mohammedans. To this end he inaugurated a revolutionary program which envisaged the collaboration of the laity in the apostolate of the clergy. But St. Vincent was also well aware of the many deprivations in the natural sphere that hindered the spread of the Faith. He thus obtained and spent huge sums for the poor and underprivileged. He founded guilds for workers, agriculture schools, loan associations, orphanages and homes for girls – all of which made him the pioneer and precursor of Catholic Action. His great legacy was the congregation which he founded for urban mission work, known as the “Society for Catholic Action”. This indefatigable laborer for Christ in 1850 from a severe cold which he most likely caught on a cold rainy night after giving his cloak to a beggar who had none.

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.”
