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!

The Knights of Columbus wish to publicize the event in one of the busiest sections of downtown Kankakee. They have also offered to donate and bake the potatoes for us!
Two generous benefactors will be making a donation to provide for the meat, which will be ordered from one of the best restaurants.
What we need are donations of home-made deserts and salads, and your continued prayers!
