Great news from the diocese of Trenton, New Jersey. Starting yesterday there’s a new TLM scheduled at St. Dominic’s Parish in Brick – that’s the name of a town – at 12 PM, every Sunday. But this good news is just the tip of the iceberg. Catholic Traditionalism in Trenton has grown by leaps and bounds, and the diocese now offers its own official website for the TLM:
The Diocese of Trenton: Celebration of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form (Traditional Latin Mass)
It contains an enormous amount of information, such schedules, contacts and as this user-friendly introductory guide to the Traditional Mass:

Missa Cantata
It’s been quite a journey to here from the initial days of the “Latin Mass” movement in the Trenton diocese. For example, in the mid 1980’s, thanks to the initiative of the laity and several priests, Novus Ordo Latin Masses were celebrated at St. Paul’s parish in Princeton – after discussions with the diocese. Sadly, many of the pioneers of those days have passed away.
Then, in 1989, the bishop gave permission for the celebration of a Nuptial TLM in the chapel of Princeton University – reputed, perhaps wrongly, to be the first such Mass in the US since the 1960’s. The late Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro was the driving force behind that. I later heard, however, that the bishop was quite irritated when word of this mass got out – was the wedding supposed to be secret?
Obviously, in the new era of Summorum Pontificum, these doubts and reservations have been largely dispelled (at least in the Trenton diocese). I look forward to reporting many more inspiring stories!

A Beautiful window by the famous firm of Franz Xaver Zettler. Along with those of its main competitor in Munich, Mayer & Co., the firm’s windows adorn innumerable Catholic churches in the United States – but this example is in the Trappist abbey Tre Fontane, Rome.
