Sunday Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite or the Traditional Latin Mass in Miami now at Sts. Francis and Clare Mission

The heart of the Archdiocese of Miami's offerings of Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, the Sunday morning Missa Cantata celebrated for years at St. Robert Bellarmine Catholic Church, has now moved to a new home: Sts. Francis and Clare Mission Church or San Francisco y Santa Clara! The Community is going strong, and things are looking up at our new location, which will host the Mass according to the Missale Romanum of 1962 at 9:00 AM from now on.

Sts. Francis and Clare is a mission church of Corpus Christi parish. It is located just east of Biscayne Boulevard at 402 N.E. 29th Street Miami, FL 33137. Here is a map: http://bit.ly/2KIAA7

Our numbers increased after the closing weeks at St. Robert's. More Archdiocese of Miami Catholics are taking part in this beautiful form of the Church's liturgy. Over time, some physical improvements may be made to our new physical home, but as Fr. Joseph Fishwick, our celebrant, pointed out, we are called to rebuild God's Church through Christian charity and faith as St. Francis was before us. Why don't you come visit us?

Here's a quick snapshot of the church I took 20 minutes before Mass.

Sunday Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite or Traditional Latin Mass in Miami- New Time, Location starting October 2009

Our friends at Musica Sacra Florida have posted a message from Fr. Joseph Fishwick who celebrates the weekday low mass at South Miami Hospital chapel and the Sunday missa cantata, which has been hosted at St. Robert Bellarmine for years.


BEGINNING Sunday, Oct. 4th, Mass in the Extraordinary form of the Roman Rite will be celebrated at 9:00 a.m. at San Francisco y Santa Clara Mission at 402 N.E. 29^th Street, just east of Biscayne Boulevard.


Let's hear the rest from Fr. Fishwick:

Latin Mass Community / Announcement for All:

We will announce it at Mass for all who are interested on this Sunday, Sept 13^th, but beginning SUNDAY, Sept 20^th, the Traditional Latin Mass will be celebrated at 9:00 a.m. at St. Robert Bellarmine.   This is ONLY for two weeks.  Then the parish will be officially closed on October 1^st, Thursday, and the Latin Mass, until further notice, will be celebrated at the MISSION of SAN FRANCISCO y SANTA CLARA at 9:00 a.m. each Sunday.

To repeat:  BEGINNING Sunday, Oct. 4^th, Latin Mass will be at 9:00 a.m.  at San Francisco y Santa Clara Mission.

This Mission chapel of CORPUS CHRISTI parish is located at 402 N.E. 29^th Street, just east of Biscayne Boulevard.  It is easily reached from SR 112 (the “Airport Expressway”) by exiting the expressway at Biscayne Boulevard and proceeding south a few blocks and turning left (east) onto NE 29^th Street.  If one is coming from the south on Biscayne Boulevard, then obviously one will turn right onto NE 29^th Street.  The Mission will be on your right.  Physically, it is about the size of St Robert Bellarmine and is very attractive architecturally, in a Spanish style, and quite conducive to the celebration of Mass in the Extraordinary Form. 

There will be no time constraints from other morning masses.  We hope in the near future to be able to move into a more permanent home, but we must remember that we are a “pilgrim people,” particularly in these uncertain times.   We ask everyone to support the old Mass, this Mass which is the perfect setting for Gregorian chant, contemplative prayer, and a sacrificial spirit, and which is the priceless heritage of our Catholic faith.    “Procedamus in pace…”      

Father Joseph Fishwick

Support the EF, listen to Religion, Politics and the Culture

For those of you who haven't heard of Dennis O'Donovan then you haven't heard THE voice of Catholic Radio in South Florida in English. Yes we have Radio Paz... which I listen to daily, but English language Catholic Radio is something that we MUST support. Dennis has had a number of nationally known Catholic intellectuals including Father Fessio, Dr. Peter Kreeft, Dr. Robert George, Dr. William Lucky, Colleen Carrol Campbell, Father Sirico, Father Frank Pavone, Father Neuhaus before he passed away, Father Kearns, Mike Novak, and Thomas E Woods. Not to mention Dennis has recently begun promoting events at local parishes which is incredibly needed in this economic downturn. He is starting with St Michael the Archangel which is know for being supportive of the Gregorian Chant and Polyphony and I know Father Marino to be supportive of the Benedictine Reform. Please consider attending St. Michael's and tell Father Marino, Dennis sent you!

Listen Live Mondays through Fridays On 1040 AM Radio from 8:00am to 9:00am. You can also listen on the internet by going to http://www.rpconradio.com/ As Dennis would say, "It's a live, call-in show made a lot more lively by your calls to 1-866-716-1040" Here is the advance of the promotion Dennis will be airing on his show:

Here's the promotion we are going to do on the radio show for Father Marino of St. Michael the Archangel in Miami. Please read and consider attending this Sunday's Mass and those in the future:

As Catholic as the Pope located in the heart of the City of Miami, just minutes from I-95, Downtown, The Dolphin and Miami International Airport, St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church and School is a place where Tradition and Faithfulness to the Majesterium takes pride of place. At St. Michael's we understand that the Mass is not about us but about us worshipping God in the manner that He has asked. At St. Michael's in addition to the Spanish masses we offer the Sunday 10:30 Mass in English, featuring worship according to the mind and example of Pope Benedict XVI: the Benedictine Altar arrangement, orthodox preaching, solemnity, reverence and Gregorian Chant and Mass propers. St. Michael the Archangel Church and School, 2987 West Flagler street, Miami. Call 305-649-1811 Come be part of the Reform of the Reform
