I had posted some time ago that there would be a Solemn TLM celebrated at St. Michael the Archangel, Leawood, KS, organized by my friend Fr. Shawn Tunink.
It seems to have been quite the success! He wrote:
Instead of the 40 or so people we have for Low Mass, we had almost 400!
He sent a link to a page with photos. HERE
I see that my friend Fr. Bartulica is the subdeacon and the thurifer plays for the KC Chiefs…. which is football, I think.
Fr. Z kudos to all.
This is awesome! I don’t know that Fr. Bartulica, but I may know some of his family (it’s a large family). I went to high school with some Bartulicas, one of whom is a Priest, but I’m not sure if the two are related (or how, if they are). Yes indeed, the thurifer is Harrison Butker, who is the kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs football team!
This is awesome.
