I’ve known of a number of places where re-introducing the EF Mass was a success; I haven’t heard of one where nobody came. Keep up the good work, Bill & Fr. Hagen, and take heart, all you other Bills & Fr. Hagens out there!
I live in St. Louis, and know some of the people involved in arranging this Mass. It is a Missa Cantata, and they are even receiving assistance from seminarians in order to coordinate everything! For reference though, the priest is actually Fr. Raymond Hager, with an r.

Speaking as someone with family around O’Fallon…this is fantastic news. When I go back to see family, I invariably go to St. Francis de Sales Oratory; but it has long been painfully clear that there was a crying need for a regular TLM at the northern end of the archdiocese. The Oratory is worth the trip, but…for many Catholics in St. Charles County, this is a godsend.
Let us pray that other pastors in St. Louis follow Fr. Hager’s courageous example – and that other laity follow the example of the Latin Liturgy Association. Ride the bike.
I’m grateful that Fr. Z gave us the resource links in the above article.

The materials there are some of the most clear and helpful I have found on the Latin Mass!
