St. Mary's Chapel, Boston College: Aspirations for Both Forms
by Shawn Tribe

From a reader:

Mass in the Extraordinary Form was offered for (what we believe is) the first time in a great number of years (possibly since the reform) in St. Mary's chapel at Boston College on the Feast of St. Michael. Fr. Augustin Anda of the Boston Archdiocese was the celebrant. Men from Boston College's adoration group, the St. Thomas More Society, served at the altar. The "Schola Amicorum," which also sings at other local Boston EF Masses, provided chant. Roughly 25-30 people, a majority of them students, prayed at the Mass.
The NLM is told that this group of students has aspirations to have monthly Mass offered in the usus antiquior, as well a monthly Mass in the modern Roman liturgy which employs Latin and ad orientem.

As always, it is encouraging to see these matters approached from the lens of both forms of the Roman liturgy.The Saint Thomas More Society IS the Catholic presence at BC. Their numbers have grown from a mere handful in 2002 to over 60 active members today. In the past two years alone, 5 men have entered the seminary from this group. This development is a great blessing for the Society and for Boston College, lit candles on the gradine or not.
