New Latin Mass Announced in Syracuse Diocese

Beginning October 3, 2010, the Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) will be offered each Sunday at 8:00 a.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, Verona N.Y., by Fr. Edmund Castronovo, pastor.

Verona is located at Exit #34 of the NYS Thruway, and the church is on Main Street, opposite the elementary school.

For many years, Fr. Castronovo was celebrant for the Solemn High Mass at the Auriesville Pilgrimage for Restoration.  He has also assisted at the diocese’s eastern regional Latin Mass in Utica, the future of which is uncertain at this time.

This new documentary about the Benedictine monks at Clear Creek Abbey in Oklahoma, is entitled Living the Liturgy.  These traditional contemplative monks sing the Divine Office in Latin in Gregorian chant, and celebrate Mass in the Extraordinary Form.

The full-length feature (52mins) of Living the Liturgy is now available on YouTube at the following link:

We extend our congratulations and thanks to the monks of Clear Creek, and also to David Biddle, Una Voce Northern Alabama, who assisted by editing this documentary at EWTN and also did production work on the FSSP vocation videos as well.
