Rorate Caeli

A few moments of your time please?

It’s been awhile since I last asked everyone to do some housekeeping at WikkiMissa and I thought that maybe the anniversary of the release of Summorum Pontificum would be an ideal day to remind everyone to update the information on Masses in their area.

For those who are not already familiar with it, WikkiMissa is a brilliant French-based, user editable website administered by a certain Emmanuel which comprises what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive directory of traditional Masses worldwide. It is usable in six languages (including Latin) and is an indispensable tool for travelers who need to know where they can assist at Mass in various destinations.

In the two years since Summorum Pontificum appeared, there have been new Mass sites appearing in the news on a regular basis. It seems as though Masses are popping up at a faster rate than even tradition-oriented media can keep up with. I would like to make an appeal to readers at this time to familiarize themselves with Wikkimissa and to make any updates relevant to what is happening in their respective regions. Please bookmark the site and look in on it from time to time to make sure the information remains current. You will certainly also want to make the site available to those desiring to assist at a traditional Mass but may not know where to find one. There are undoubtedly scores of tradition minded people out there who would be happy to join us at Mass every Sunday if only they were aware that there was one within traveling distance from their homes. This is a low-burden opportunity to bring as many people to our Masses as possible. Let us hasten to avail ourselves of it.
