TLM Server Training: This Weekend in the Anchorage Area (Eagle River)

I am very sad. I will most likely not be able to go through the TLM server training sessions this weekend in Eagle River. As many of you know... I am a fan of the Mass said according to the usus antiquior.


This weekend, a priest from St. John Cantius - Chicago (Sancta Missa)will be instructing those wanting to learn to serve in that form of the Mass. As fortune would have it, I have to be in Anchorage on Saturday for an exam, so I thought God was smiling on me a bit. Until I learned the details of the training.

From the CatholicAnchor.org:

There will a training session for those interested in learning to serve the Tridentine (Latin) Mass. On Aug. 5-6. Father Bart Juncer of Chicago will hold a session from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at St. Andrew Church in Eagle River. Those interested in attending need to call Rita Montella at 745-3229.

 With the possibility of us moving... and/or not having a job soon, it just doesn't make sense to go up to Anchorage and spend 3 nights in a hotel. But I encourage ANYONE else that can make it up there to attend the training. Especially folks on the Kenai. Having men and boys trained as servers for the TLM in one less impediment on the path to getting more TLM's said in parishes.

I am quite sad that we can't make it up there for the entire weekend. In fact, due to our short trip, I will also be missing the TLM at HFC, and the DL at St. Nicolas' :(

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.
For those attending... I will be praying for you.
