Congratulations to the community of the Parish of Saint-Eugène/Sainte-Cécile and to all other Traditional Catholic communities involved in the preparation of the historic Traditional Mass celebrated today at the High Altar of the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Paris, Notre-Dame de Paris, one of the centers of Christian Civilization (first announced last March).
It was a fitting way to begin the celebrations for the first anniversary of the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum. Pictures are available at Le Forum Catholique (1, 2, 3, 4).
[June 18:] More pictures at the website of the parochial Schola. According to Olivier Figueras, in today's edition of Présent, yesterday's ceremony was the first Traditional Mass in Notre Dame since the one celebrated by Cardinal Lustiger on July 2, 1988, as a response to the Ecône consecrations of June 30, 1988. Let us hope that there may soon be a regularly scheduled Traditional Mass in that great Cathedral.
