The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered in the Gregorian Rite using the Missal of 1962 in Carlow Cathedral on the morning of 19th May, 2012, by Canon Brieuc de La Brosse of
the Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest, and served by members of the Institute and St. Conleth's Catholic Heritage Association. The Choir of the Augustinian Church, John's Lane, Dublin, sang the Mass of St. John the Baptist, by Rev. J.E. Turner, O.S.B., and a number of polyphonic motets and vernacular hymns. After Mass, Canon de la Brosse gave his first blessing to the congregation and choir. It is
the second time this year that a newly-ordained Priest has given his first blessing after a Mass organised by St. Conleth's Catholic Heritage Association. Accounts of previous Masses organised by St. Conleth's Catholic Heritage Association in Carlow Cathedral are given

I just found your beautiful web site thanks to the leaflet at the Latin Mass. I brought my mother and she wanted me to tell you how much she appreciated the Latin Mass that she used to know when she was young. It took years off her. It was my first time at a Latin Mass and it was really beautiful and prayerful. I really look forward to the next one.
One suspects that the Cathedral is deliberately not conducive to a large turn out for anything traditional. That said well done to everyone concerned for your perseverance.
Congratulations on the two new Priests. I wonder how many new Priests have given their blessings in that Cathedral in recent years. This is an eloquent testimony to the vibrance of traditional religion and traditional liturgy.
May God preserve this holy priest and preserve all those who receive his blessing.

Wonder why they didn't use the original altar in the back? I guess the new "table" would block things...
Also not they take communion standing; one church I've been to in central Canada (Latin Mass) used the front pews as the altar rails, draping them w/the altar linen...
Love this site, by the way.

Another one missed but I'm going to make it to Emo for sure.
What a wonderful event. To be the instrument of bringing the first blessing of a Priest into a diocese (TWICE). There's a tradition that needs to be restored! I am applying to join your association. It is doing great work and I would be honoured to be a part of it.
