I attended an Anglican Use mass at St. Athanasius Congregation in Boston, Ma, in August 2008. I loved it. I will be doing so this September 26. I have been praying for years for a reunion with the Anglicans. Anglicanorum Coetibus is an answer to my prayers beyond the Anglican Use, here in the USA. I pray for you and share your excitement for your impending ordination. Sadly, in Nevada and California, where I spend my time, we have no Anglican Use. I have not been to Phoenix in many years, your establishing an Anglican Use Parish/Mission will give me an excuse to make the trip. Respectfully, John Rondina Dear Deacon Vietor,

I am a Roman Catholic, who favors the TLM, I am impressed with the Anglican Use. I attended an Anglican Use mass at St. Athanasius Congregation in Boston, Ma, in August 2008. I loved it. I will be doing so this September 26.

I have been praying for years for a reunion with the Anglicans. Anglicanorum Coetibus is an answer to my prayers beyond the Anglican Use, here in the USA.

I pray for you and share your excitement for your impending ordination.

Sadly, in Nevada and California, where I spend my time, we have no Anglican Use. I have not been to Phoenix in many years, your establishing an Anglican Use Parish/Mission will give me an excuse to make the trip.

Respectfully,

John Rondina

We are so happy to see you move closer to the goal of being ordained a priest in Holy Mother Church!

(Fr. Bergman was the officiant and gave a talk afterwards re. Anglicanorum Coetibus.) Paul told us you had received your rescript (I believe that's the correct term). Congratulations. We look forward to hearing when you will be ordained. Please give Ashley my love. Hope to see both of you in Newark in June. We will be there. - Heide Seward Oliver, Bernie & I saw Paul Campbell at the Evening Prayer service here in Washington on the day of the March for Life. (Fr.

I am sure that your parish is delighted that they will now have a priest to celebrate the AU liturgy every day instead of once in a while. Please keep us updated on when your ordination will take place. I believe that once you have a parish established and are a Catholic prist that your parish membership will grow. God Bless you. Bernadette Congratulations on this wonderful news. I am sure that your parish is delighted that they will now have a priest to celebrate the AU liturgy every day instead of once in a while.

While the term "Latin Mass" is often used as a synonym for "Tridentine Mass" or "Extraordinary Form", such language can obscure something. The normative missal of the "Ordinary Form" or "Novus Ordo" is also in Latin. Some Roman parishes even make the Latin Novus Ordo a regular part of their liturgical life (though they are few). Keeping this in mind helps one to better understand that the difference between the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms is not essentially the difference between vernacular worship and Latin worship; rather, it is a difference in structure (e.g., the OF has three scripture readings plus a Psalm, while the EF has two readings plus a Psalm, etc.) From a certain perspective, we might say that there is no such thing as "the English Mass" in the Latin Rite: there is a Latin Extraordinary Form Mass and a normative Latin "Novus Ordo" Mass, the latter of which is more commonly known only through the multiple vernacular translations used in the world today. From that same perspective, we might also say that "the English Mass" is the Anglican Use liturgy found in the Book of Divine Worship. Just a few thoughts.
