Thank you Father Perez

Great thanks must be extended to the pastor of St. Stephen parish in Pensacola, Father Hector Perez, for the gift of his celebration of the Gregorian Rite--the extraordinary form of the Liturgy of the Church yesterday in Quincy.

Thank you Father Perez for your travel, your ministry, and the blessing of your presence with us in the Tallahassee area.

Deus Gratia! Summorum Pontificum in the Tallahassee Area

30 APRIL 2012. On this day, the feast day of Saint Pope Pius V, the Summorum Pontificum returned to the eastern half of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, after a years long hiatus. Thank you to Archbishop Thomas Wenski for insisting on the reinstitution of the extraordinary form of the Holy Liturgy of the Church, in this mission corner of the Catholic world.

At 7:00 p.m. this evening, Father Hector R. G. Perez Y Robles, STD celebrated a low mass at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Quincy, Florida, returning the oral expression of the the Holy Church's mother tongue to this area for the first time in several years. 

Father Nicholas Schumm, administrator of St Thomas the Apostle, and one of the several wonderful young priests that we have been blessed with in this diocese, was a welcoming and gracious host for the mass, which will be held at least once monthly at the Church. 

Mark your calendars now, the next extraordinary form mass will be 18 June at 7:00 p.m.
