Meeting for Priests in Northeastern Brazil

The Diocese of Garanhuns, in the state of Pernambuco (Northeastern Brazil), will promote a meeting for priests on the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The meeting will take place on June 17-19.

The meeting was organized by several priests interested in the Traditional Roman Rite, and is being encouraged by the local ordinary, Bishop Fernando Guimarães (who used to work in the Congregation for the Clergy), with the presence of Bishop Fernando Rifan.

A few short years ago, before the Motu Proprio, our correspondent tells us, there was not a single diocesan Traditional Mass in the entire northern half of Brazil. Now, a meeting of priests from all Brazil will take place there. We will try to post pictures of the meeting.
