TLM IN AKRON
A couple of people have sent in a link to the Angelqueen.org website announcing plans to bring the Latin Mass to Akron on a regular basis. The announcement reads as follows:
I am very happy to announce that St. Mary's Church in Akron will begin having the Traditional Latin Mass each Sunday at 1:00 PM, beginning December 2nd.
Up until now, the Mass was only offered on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of each month.
St. Mary's is located at 750 S Main St., Akron, OH 44311
(330) 762-9247
I spoke to Father Doug Brown after Mass this past weekend. He will be offering the Mass there once each month. On the other Sundays they will have a priest from the FSSP in Vienna, Ohio, or Father Bede Kotlinski, OSB, who also says the Mass twice each month at Immaculate Conception Parish in Cleveland. (I believe they have another priest who helps out when needed to offer the Mass, but I don't know his name.)
They are looking for people who would like to sing in the choir, and also would like to train more altar boys. You should be able to contact the church to get more information. (Up until now, this particular church did not even list the TLM in their bulletin. However, this is supposed to change once it is officially a "weekly" Mass.)
There is more of a potential for forming a regular congregation out of this weekly Mass, and that seems to be reflected in the call for choir members and altar boys. It's also interesting to see that the FSSP will be active here. But what happened to Fr. Hilkert who used to say the bi-weekly TLM?
