Incorrigible, thanks for the flag.

How far is Berlin from the Newark area? (My family lives in Summit)

nick, you don't have to go all the way to Berlin. I live in Summit and attend a traditional parish in West Orange. It has been there for about 5 or 6 years. Also, a church in Jersey City has received approval from Archbishop Myers to celebrate the Tridentine Mass. They won't be starting that until some time in March or February. FReepmail me for more info.

We had a wonderful Candlemas Mass on Saturday with a ceremony beforehand to bless the candles. After the priest blessed the candles (with five prayers in the Missal for Feb. 2 Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary), we all went up to the front of the church, received a candle, went to the back of the church where the candles were lit, then we all proceeded up the main aisle (after the alter servers and priests) and around to our seats with the lit candles. Then the candles were lit for the Gospel reading and post communion prayer during Mass.

sinkspur, our church also prays the rosary before Mass. I haven't seen anyone praying it during Mass.
