Fr Ramm is the Parish Priest of our personal parish in Zurich and the editor of this 1962 altar missal. A native from Bavaria, Fr Ramm spoke in German with the Holy Father who received the missal with great pleasure and thanked him for his work.

    A Guide to ensuring you have the Traditional Mass at your Funeral The Latin Mass Society A Mass for the Dead celebrated in Reading by the Very Rev. Fr John Berg, Superior General of the FSSP (for Remembrance Sunday).
