ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO SPEARHEADS TLM TRAINING







Low Mass in the Extraordinary Form: Recitation of the Confiteor

The Archdiocese of Chicago is spearheading a five-day Training for Priests who would like to learn to say the Traditional Latin Mass according to the 1962 Edition Typica of the Roman Missal. Here is a brief qoute from the News item from Zenit:

"Cardinal George, the archbishop of Chicago, said this about a five-day Traditional Latin Mass Training Workshop for priests and seminarians hosted last week by the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius in conjunction with the Archdiocese of Chicago.Hailing from all over the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Lithuania, Italy, and the Philippines, the participating priests and seminarians stayed at the campus of Mundelein Seminary to attend a hands-on workshop on the celebration of the extraordinary form of the Mass of the Roman rite held at the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House. " Read more from Zenit .



Here is my opinion: How I wish that the steps undertaken by the Archdiocese of Chicago to comply with the express wishes of the Holy Father in his Motu Proprio S.F. will encourage other dioceses or ecclesistical provinces to equipp their seminarians and priests with the knowledge of this form of celebrating the Mass.
