Monthly Potluck Social
Our next monthly potluck social will be held after Mass on Sunday, September 27th. We hope to see you there!
Musicians Needed
Sung Masses will resume on October 4th, and our TLM choir is looking to recruit more singers for the choir, both male and female voices in all voice parts, and particularly men to sing in the schola. If you are interested -even thinking about- giving your voice to “ad Laudem et Gloria Dei” (to the praise and glory of God) please contact our choir director, Philip Crnkovich, at [email protected] or see him after Mass.
Additionally, since Mark Erb’s passing we are seriously in need of an organist. This would be a volunteer position but one need not commit to playing every Sunday.
We also are looking for a piano/keyboard player who can help out with practices/rehearsals. Anyone interested (or know of someone who could help out) can contact Philip Crnkovich at: [email protected]
Sign Up to Host the Pilgrim Virgin Statue
The Lancaster Latin Mass Community invites its members to welcome into your home our own Pilgrim Virgin Statue of Our Lady of Fatima. You may sign up to have the statue in your home for a period of approximately one month. During this time of visitation, families are encouraged to: practice daily prayer of the rosary; invite guests to join your family in praying with Our Lady; make a Home Enthronement to the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary; begin or continue the Devotion of the Five First Saturdays.
