Developments in the Savannah Diocese

Two news items are of interest to traditional Catholics in the Savannah Diocese.

First: There has been a formal request for the Latin Mass in the Augusta area, and
Second: The Bishop has been petitioned for the establishment of a traditional personal parish for the Diocese. Please contact the Bishop by phone or letter to show support for these two initiatives. The more support these initiatives receive the more likely they may come to fruition. A personal parish is a Diocese wide parish. All traditional Catholics in the Diocese can join the parish and all liturgies, sacraments, devotions, and parish life would be in the Extra Ordianry Form of the Roman Rite. Ususually this involves the parish being staffed by priests from a traditional order. The Archdiocese of Atlanta has a traditional personal parish staffed by the FSSP.
