Folks, I know you have good charities in mind for your giving.
On this last day of the year, I put before your eyes one last time, the
Tridentine Mass Society of the Diocese of Madison.
This is a 501(c)(3) organization. Donations are tax deductible.
Over the years the TMSM has been supporting the spread of the Traditional Mass in this Diocese. Also, we have, through the visibility of this blog, inspired others to form up and get to work.
One of the ongoing projects here is the development of a treasury of beautiful vestments for every level of Holy Mass, from Low to Pontifical Masses at the Throne.
Years ago the cathedral burned down here (arson). One of these days it will be rebuilt and the TMSM will be there with stunning vestments for the sacred rites to add decorum and gravitas to all that is done.
Here is a shot of something from the last set we had made, a Solemn Mass set in violet, a dalmatic.
We would like to create a new set – Pontifical – in gold with blue and silver. And we have need for some Low Mass. Why?
Over the last 6 months 3 additional parishes here now have the TLM. We are going to give support to them as well, depending on donations. Proper vestments are sorely needed. I was at one place not long ago to fill in and… oh dear. Vestments are needed.
