The Decree of the Sacred Congregation of Rites establishing the 1962 edition of the Missale Romanum was promulgated exactly 50 years ago today: June 23, 1962, a few months before the opening of the Second Vatican Council and with all rubrics and classifications fully aligned with the Codex Rubricarum promulgated along with the motu proprio Rubricarum Instructum of 1960…

A Requiem High Mass was offered on Friday, 8 June, 2012 Canon Jean-Marie Moreau, Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest and rector of St. Anthony of Padua Oratory West Orange, NJ. The Mass was offered for the repose of the souls of the deceased pastors of St.Titus and was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Woodlawn Council. The PLMC, Inc. provided vestments and other necessary items for the Requiem.
Long-time PLMC member Dick Valletta was the organist and cantor – ably assisted by Ralph Ruggiero. After Mass a dinner was enjoyed by many of the participants and attendees, who had the opportunity to meet informally with Canon Moreau and learn of the activities of the Institute.
The first item of business on the agenda for the May Board of Directors meeting was the authorization for the offering of two Novenas of Masses.
The Board unanimously requested that nine Masses be offered for the temporal and spiritual well-being of Fr. James Dolan, Chaplain of the Diocesan Latin Mass Community at Holy Wisdom Parish.
Nine additional Masses will be offered for the temporal and spiritual well-being of Fr. Kenneth Myers, the outgoing chaplain. All Masses will be said by priests who support the PLMC, Inc. in its mission to promote the Traditional Latin Mass and sacraments.
The PLMC, Inc. provided acolyte vestments for all those who requested them and who took part in the recent Rosary March through downtown Pittsburgh. Special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Medvitz for their careful laundering and ironing of the vestments, to Mrs. Young for distribution and collection of the vestments, and to Mr. Nypaver for the use of his photos of the Rosary March.
