A very nice development for those in southwest Florida. Many thanks to Bishop Dewane!
His Excellency Bishop Frank Dewane announced today that the Diocese of Venice in Florida has purchased a church for the exclusive use of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. This will be the first church to be dedicated exclusively for the Latin Mass in Florida. The church is situated on close to three acres of property and is located at 1900 Meadowood Street, Sarasota. The property previously belonged to Holy Trinity Anglican Church. Significant renovation will be necessary before doors can be opened, including a new roof, renovating the sanctuary and making the nave of the church larger. However it is hoped that the new church will be opened in the near future. Juridically, the building will be erected as a chapel, and at a future date it will be raised to the status of a parish. There will be an open house this coming Saturday afternoon (September 27th, 2008). All are welcome, bring friends!

I have the impression that this information might be of interest to some members of this blog (if I’m wrong, I apologize):
From the Saint Agnes Bulletin (Saint Paul, MN) :
“Beginning with the 1st Sunday of Advent this year, we will offer both the Extraordinary Form and the Ordinary Form of the Latin Mass in alternate weeks at the 10:00 a.m. Mass. The Extraordinary Form (1962 editio typica Missal) will be offered on the odd numbered weeks (1st and 3rd weeks), while the Ordinary Form (1970 Missal) will be offered on even numbered weeks (2nd and 4th weeks of the month). Holy Day schedules and other details are still forthcoming. The Extraordinary Form Mass will be a Missa Cantata.”
Very nice! Indeed that is of interest. Thank you, Gregg!
