I couldn’t have agreed more when Shawn Tribe wrote a post asking financial support for the personal parish dedicated to the usus antiquior in Rome, Santissima Trinità de Pellegrini, run by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. This church, like so many in Rome, is filled with unique works of art and its sacristy contains beautiful (and some, centuries old) liturgical vestments. Ss. Trinita is also, like many such churches, in need of repair and cleaning. I think it’s right to say that, for traditionalists, this is our home church (after a fashion): it is our parish destination whenever we are so fortunate as to visit the City. More importantly, it is something like our “national” church in the city of Rome. This church ought to be resplendent in every way as a witness to the commitment of traditionalists both for the Diocese of Rome as well as for the world. The Holy Father has asked the bishops of the world to be generous in providing personal parishes dedicated to the celebration of the sacraments according to the liturgical books of 1962; he has led by example in establishing such a parish in his own diocese, Rome; and now, I think, we should do our part to make that parish a gem.

They have a PayPal link for donations, so it’s very easy to send them a dollar or two. Again, see Shawn’s post for that link. The parish itself also has a donation page with information, in Italian, about donation via bank transfer.
