- Berks Latin Mass This Sunday at 12:30pm
Hi everyone, this Sunday at 12:30pm we'll be having our monthly Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary's in Reading. The address is 250 S 12th Street, Reading PA Below I posted a link to the propers so you can print them out, but we'll also bring some copies.
Fr. Brian Miller will be hearing confessions at 11:30 until about 12:15. We'll also be having a potluck after Mass. If you can bring some food, even something small, it would be greatly appreciated. If you don't normally stay after Mass for the social, I'd like to re-invite you to stop by. It's a great time to meet new and interesting people and grow in Christ.
We'll begin setting up for the social and schola practice at noon. Our rosary before Mass begins at 12:10. We’re also wishing everyone a happy Mother’s Day and ask for prayers for Pope Leo XIV.
In other Latin Mass news there are three Masses this upcoming month you might be interested in.
