A worthy event at which to celebrate in these days after the motu proprio and before its legal norms come into effect, before which time I hope that we’ve made some effort to organize ourselves. If you’re in the greater NYC area, this is not far away! Though Ithaca is four hours away, Franciscus and I are already mulling over the possibility.
The first Traditional Latin Mass pilgrimage to the National Shrine of our Lady of Czestochowa in Doylestown, Pennsylvania occurred on Saturday, August 20, 2005 with the gracious permission of his eminence, Justin Cardinal Rigali of Philadelphia. Over 700 attended, some coming from as far away as Canada. It was a day of prayer and reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Our Lady of Fatima.
If you are planning to attend/or charter a bus in 2007 please inform Father James Miara so that he can estimate a number for that day. He can be reached at 718-295-3770. Please also call if you have any further questions or need further information. The shrine has limited overnight accommodations and there are some hotels in the area for those traveling at a long distance.

I copied these details from the webpage of St. Peter’s in Troy (outside Albany), an indult in a beautiful which I had the pleasure of visiting in the spring. I wrote about that visit here.
And the Cornell Society for a Good Time, or at least a goodly number of its representatives, had the pleasure of hearing Fr. James Miara preach and celebrate the old Mass at St. Agnes in Manhattan on the Sunday last summer after Ambrosius and Catharina Senensis were wed.

This sounds great. It’s four hours away for me, too, but I’m tempted nonetheless.
What a perk with Fr. Miara! The homily he gave that day had a certain brutal honesty that trads can appreciate. A certain honesty that is also present in homilies given by a certain Msgr. at St. Alphonsus.
It’s 3-1/2 hours away for me, but I have a friend in the area, so this gives me an excuse to visit her and hopefully drag her along.
By the way, thank you very much for the link to my website.
There is a bus going from St. Agnes in Manhattan.
I don’t have all the details handy, but they should be able to tell you more if you call the parish.
(Sadly, I will probably be in SC that weekend.)
Sam, I’m sorry to hear that you probably won’t be able to make it. But to any who can come: we’ll be happy to see you!
If you’ve never met Fr. Miara, look for a priest wearing a cassock and biretta. Here’s an example of a young diocesan priest who has no association with the Fraternity, Society, or Institute but is completely old school, not only in liturgy but in theology. How he did it, I don’t know but there are others out there to be found and encouraged.
I would guess (and I would hope) that the Mass is in the Lower Church of the Shrine, specifically in Our Lady’s Chapel
Father Miara is an Excellent priest and he is often at St. Agnes in NYC. It is always a pleasure to hear his homilies and talk with him. I am planning on going and will tell my friends at Our Lady of Peace in Brooklyn and Church of Our Saviour in Manhattan. Thank God for conservative priests like he and Father Rutler!
Matthew:
For the past two years, the Mass has been celebrated in the upper church to accommodate the crowd. This is an event not to be missed!
