A reader writes in that a special traditional Latin Mass will be said at the Church of the Holy Name of Jesus in Providence, Rhode Island at 11AM on December 17th, with Bishop Tobin, pictured here, presiding from his Throne and giving an indulgenced blessing therefrom. A potluck lunch and Advent concert will follow the Mass. Visitors are very welcome: if you are at all nearby, please help encourage this Bishop in his outreach to traditional Catholics! More details below.

The Church is located at 99 Camp Street in Providence, RI. The parish pastor reports that, though the Bishop will not be saying the Mass, this is chiefly because he has never yet learned it (he was ordained after 1969); presumably indicating that he would be willing to learn to celebrate the traditional Mass. All the more reason to turn out and encourage him!

Holy Name Church is located on the East Side of Providence at the corner of Camp and Pleasant Streets. From Rt. 95, take the Branch Avenue Exit. Proceed to North Main Street (bear right onto North Main at the fire station) and continue to Doyle Avenue. Turn left onto Doyle, then left onto Camp Street.
