Some Beautiful Pictures of the First Latin Tridentine Mass at the Cathedral of Christ the King in nearly fourty years




Rev.Fr. Shaun Mary von Lillienfeld celebrates the tridentine latin Mass for the first time within the Cathedral walls after a period of about fourty years since the implementation of the Novous Ordo reforms of 1969.

Updates on the TLM at Christ the King

The organising committee of Una Voce SA is pleased to announce that a unique event will take place on the 21st December 2008. The first celebration in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (Traditional Latin Mass, Tridentine Mass) on a Sunday in the Cathedral of Christ the King in close on forty years.

This will be a low mass begining at 11:30am.

The Cathedral of Christ the King is located at the corner of Saratoga Ave. and End Street, Johannesburg. Parking is available

We wish to express our thanks to the Cathedral Administrator Fr. Shaun Mary von Lillienfeld who will be celebrant.

If you would like us to keep you informed please send an e-mail to christopher.cordeiro@yahoo.co.uk with the phrase TLM in the subject line. For more information visit our blog http://unavocesa.blogspot.com/ .

It would assist the organisers if those who would like to attend would e-mail me to indicate how many will be coming. But this is not a requirement and we would be very happy to see you.

The mass will be followed by a meet-and-greet with tea and cake. If possible kindly bring something small to eat at the meet-and- greet.

The 'Official' return of the Latin Mass to Johannesburg

From Christopher Cordeiro


Friends,

A big thank you to all of you, those who could attend and those who couldn't but have been praying for us. A special thanks to Fr. Shaun, the celebrant and to Andrew Martin who served the Mass. Also to Megan at the Cathedral who prepared the altar. My friend, Michael Poverello, came to the rescue with his camera and took the official photographs. I knew that I would forget something and just prayed that it would't be something like an altar card. Half-way to the Cathedral I realised that it was my camera. Our Lord sent us not only a camera but a skilled photographer.

The mass was a great success, if we can speak in these terms about the Holy Sacrifice. About 70 people attended and the Lady Chapel of the Cathedral was packed to overflowing. I have already received a number of e-mails from people who were deeeply moved.

I am still a bit overwhelmed by the experience, but will hopefully eventually find the right words to use and will post an article on the Una Voce SA blog. http://unavocesa.blogspot.com/

Michael's photo's will also be there.

Please keep inviting friends and family to the weekday masses.

On the 21st December at 11:30am we will have the first Sunday TLM Mass followed by a small reception. I will in the course of this week and the next be asking all of you to help to publicise this event and to help in a number of other ways. My hope is to reach as many people in the Archdiocese as possible with the news of the Sunday mass.

As soon as I have a moment I will respond individually to those of you who have e-mailed me.

God Bless

Christopher

ORATE FRATRES, TLM is back after 40 years!

Indeed Brethren, pray! After a period of nearly forty years the Tridentine Latin Mass will again be celebrated here in the archdiocese beginning tomorrow at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Feast of St. Bibiana.

The schedule for TLM masses for the first week in December is as follows:

Saratoga Ave. and End Street
Johannesburg.

Tuesday (2nd December) 17:30 (Beggining Tomorrow December 2nd)
Thursday (4th December) 17:30

I beg your prayers for this wonderful occasion, indeed the prayers of many will accompany Father as he pronounces for the first time within forty years ' Introibo ad altare Dei', we thank God for his great providence in answering the prayers of many of his faithful children, in restoring the Tridentine Latin Mass back to its rightful place within Holy Mother Church.

A few weeks away, Deo Gratias



Dearest Friends of the Traditional Latin Mass,

We are just weeks away from having the TLM celebrated 'officially' in the Archdiocese. The first celebrations of Holy Mass should take place within the first weeks of Advent, twice a week as a low mass.

I hope to have the privilege of assisting at the mass as one of the very few altar 'boys' who have knowledge of serving the TLM. I beg you all to thank God with me for this great gift to us Catholics here in Johannesburg. As of yet both Father ,as well as those older gentlemen who have knowledge of serving mass have to further refine and correct a few things before the Mass is officially reintroduced into the Archdiocese.

With regard to the place, The Cathedral shall provide the first venue for the reintroduction of the TLM, one is forced to think of the wonder of the ways of God. What better place to reintroduce the Sacred liturgy of 1962, other than the Mother Church of the Archdiocese?

After much pain and suffering , our prayers have been answered, we can only continue to pray that this one seed might take root in the hearts of many and spread with the help of our Loving Father.

Updates will be posted as soon as they are made known to me.

In Christ and our Good Mother
