Summorum advances in Moscow and San Francisco,
under the banner of the Immaculate Conception

1. From the capital of the largest nation on Earth, news of an every-Sunday TLM:

As of January 1, 2012 a weekly diocesan traditional Latin mass is available at the  Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Moscow, Russia. The previously bi-monthly Traditional Mass will now be a Sunday Mass - every Sunday, at 5 PM, in the lower Chapel of the Cathedral.



2. In the city of Saint Francis in California, the Sunday TLM will now be in a stable location:

In the Archdiocese of San Francisco, each Sunday of the month, the traditional Mass would be at a different parish. On the first Sundays, it would be at Mater Dolorosa, in South San Francisco, second Sundays it would be at St. Finn Barr in San Francisco, third Sundays at Holy Name, also in San Francisco, and fourth Sundays at St. Catherine's in San Mateo. From Sunday, January 8, onward, the Mass will be said each Sunday without exception or change at Immaculate Conception Chapel in San Francisco. The changing Masses of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Sundays are now cancelled, but the one on the 4th Sunday at Saint Catherine's, as far as I know, will continue. Also, the Archdiocese also officially published Fr. William Young's private Mass, said daily (usually not on Wed.) at 9:30 AM at Most Holy Redeemer in San Francisco.

(Rorate first announced Fr. Young's daily TLM in Most Holy Redeemer more than two years ago.)
