PLMC donation to the FSSP seminary
On 3 September, 2026, on behalf of the Pittsburgh Latin Mass Community, Inc., Attorney Eric Frankovitch, former PLMC, Inc. Director, presented a $1000 check to Father Gregory Pendergraft of the F.S.S.P. to benefit their seminary fund. This generous donation marks over 30 years of support directly to traditional Latin Mass seminarians and seminaries. The effort began under the direction of then superintendent of the Pittsburgh Public School System and first President of the Board of Directors of the PLMC, Inc., Doctor Richard Wallace. The first donations consisted of spare change dropped in a basket at old Saint Agnes Church in Pittsburgh, PA, and over time went as high as $30,000 apiece.
Hodie Christus Natus Est!
Bethlehem has opened Eden: come and see.
We have found joy in secret: come and let us take possession
of the paradise that is within the cave.
There the unwatered Root has appeared from which forgiveness flowers forth;
There is found the undug well whence David longed to drink of old.
There the Virgin has borne a Babe and made the thirst of Adam and David to cease straightway.
Therefore let us hasten to this place where now is born a young Child, the eternal God.
