Greetings to you in the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts


I pray that this correspondence finds you in good health. The purpose of this letter is to inform you as Parish Priest, that there exists here in the Archdiocese a forum for Catholics who, are attached to or would find interest in the Tridentine Latin Mass, i.e. the ‘extraordinary form’ of the Roman Rite as decreed in the Holy Fathers Moto Proprio, ‘Summorum Pontificum’.

The forum is named in accordance with the Moto Proprio of the Supreme Pontiff, His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI and exists so as to provide a point of reference and general forum for the aforementioned faithful and clergy alike, and is aimed at gathering such people into a specific group intended for the promotion of the extraordinary form here in the Archdiocese.

Thus Father, would it be at all possible for you to include into your Parish Bulletin or notices a few points which I have included here, for which it is intended that any Catholic here in the Archdiocese to become aware that there is a body in place which would accommodate their interests.


Therefore, please be so kind as to allow for the following to be made known to the faithful of your parish.

I would much appreciate this gesture on your behalf as the shepherd of souls in your own parish, in recognizing this specific spiritual need of a large portion of the faithful.
The invitation is however not restricted only to lay persons but you as a member of the clergy as well.

I look forward to hearing from either yourself, or at least some of your parishioners

I remain, Father, your humble servant in Christ and our Good Mother
