We have received word that a Traditional Latin Mass will be celebrated on Sunday May 8, 2011 at St. Rose of Lima Church, 486 W. Merchant St., Kankakee!
Details forthcoming as we receive them. This will be the first Sunday TLM at St. Rose since the N.O. was introduced.
Mass is being scheduled for 12:00 noon, to be offered by Fr. Danber. Kankakee is approximately 60 miles south of Chicago.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: We will be serving a Mother’s Day meal immediately after Mass as a fund-raiser. The Mass, delicious, home-cooked food, piano entertainment! What else could a mother want? Keep the date open and plan on being there!
