2. On the same day the Dominican Republic witnessed what is said to be its first (canonically-regular) Solemn Mass according to the Traditional Latin rites since the post-Conciliar liturgical reform took effect. The Mass was offered by Fr. Rhone Lillard FSSP in Sto. Domingo.
This Mass took place at the end of the mission trip of the FSSP St. John Bosco Youth Group (Lincoln, NE) to the Dominican Republic. (This mission trip was announced earlier by Rorate: On a Mission -- For Souls.) H/t to Catholicvus for the photo.
At present, there is an SSPX priory in the Dominican Republic, but no regular TLM's under diocesan administration.
