Will we decide to give this experience to all our boys and young men? Can it be that vocations to the priesthood are demanding more of us than we are presently willing to give?

"The 19th March was a special day at the Cathedral of Christ the King. Two boys from the parish community of the Cathedral served the Traditional Latin Mass for the first time. The boys only saw the TLM for the first time on the 2nd of December. But from that time Jonathan and Jordan Kayombo have been very eager to learn to serve the "old" Mass. Their mother, Constance, made sure that the boys practiced their Latin at home and very soon they were word perfect."
