A Letter from Our Bishop July 26, 2021

Announce the Dear Brothers in Christ, You are most likely aware that on July 16, Francis issued an Apostolic Letter (motu proprio), entitled Traditionis Custodes, regarding the use of the Good News of Jesus Extraordinary Form of the Mass. In accordance with Article 2, it is my responsibility to provide guidance for the celebration of the Extraordinary Form Mass here in the of Wheeling- Charleston. Readings for the Week of August 1, 2021 When referring to the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, the Holy Father’s criteria are that the promulgated by Pope Sunday Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time John XXIII in 1962 be used and that the celebrant be properly Ex 16:2-4, 12-15; Ps 78:3-4, 23-24, 25, 54; skilled in and celebrate in a manner that ensures fidelity to Eph 4:17, 20-24; Jn 6:24-35 the rubrics and the liturgical texts outlined in that Missal. Monday St Eusebius of Vercelli; St Peter Julian Eymard It is the intent of the Holy Father that issuing this motu proprio Nm 11:4b-15; Ps 81:12-13, 14-15, 16-17; Mt 14:13-21 promote unity in the Church. He stresses that as ministers of the Catholic faith, we “do not deny the validity and the legitimacy of Tuesday Nm 12:1-13; Ps 51:3-4, 5-6ab, 6cd-7, 12-13; the liturgical reform, dictated by Vatican Council II and the Mt 14:22-36 or Mt 15:1-2, 10-14; of the Supreme Pontiffs.” This means that those who participate in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass must Wednesday Memorial of Saint John Vianney, Priest acknowledge the validity of the Ordinary Form of the Mass of Pope Nm 13:1-2, 25—14:1, 26-29a, 34-35; Ps 106:6-7ab, St. Paul VI. Likewise, those who are fond of the Ordinary Form 13-14, 21-22, 23; Mt 15:21-28 Mass should respect those who have an affinity for the Extraordinary Form Mass. Thursday The Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major As stated in Article 5 of the motu proprio, priests in the Diocese of Nm 20:1-13; Ps 95:1-2, 6-7, 8-9; Mt 16:13-23 Wheeling-Charleston currently celebrating the Mass using the Missale Romanum of 1962 must obtain my authorization to Friday Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord continue doing so. When seeking permission to celebrate the Dn 7:9-10, 13-14; Ps 97:1-2, 5-6, 9; 2 Pt 1:16-19; Extraordinary Form, care must be taken to ensure that it is for an Mk 9:2-10 already established community of the faithful who find spiritual nourishment in the Extraordinary Form. I will do my best to assist Saturday St Sixtus II, Pope & Martyr Companions; St Cajetan existing Extraordinary Form communities, but new communities Dt 6:4-13; Ps 18:2-3a, 3c-4, 47 and 51; Mt 17:14-20 are not permitted. Extraordinary Form Masses must also begin to transition from parochial churches to chapels or other appropriate Sunday Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time venues. 1 Kgs 19:4-8; Ps 34:2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9; I will in the near future appoint a delegate to assist me in meeting Eph 4:30—5:2; Jn 6:41-51 the needs of existing Extraordinary Form communities. I hope that this letter makes clear how ’ motu propio Traditionis Custodes will be applied in the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston. Kindly contact Msgr. Eugene Ostrowski, 30 minutes before all Masses V.G., with any questions. God bless you. Orate pro invicem (pray for one another). Fraternally in Christ, +Mark E. Brennan Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston
