The First EF of a Newly Ordained Priest in the Archdiocese of Vancouver
BY SHAWN TRIBE
It is always encouraging (never mind interesting) to hear of newly ordained diocesan priests who very quickly demonstrate their interest in the liturgical patrimony of the Church by means of the use of the more ancient liturgical books. This phenomena, if that is the right word for it, seems to rather quickly becoming more and more of a routine occurrence. For any of those who are either interested in the propagation of that patrimony, whether through the usus antiquioror through the reform of the reform, this can only be good news.
Two such examples came to my attention in the past day alone, one of which I will share with you today. In this instance, I refer you to Father Pablo Santa Maria, who was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Vancouver on May 26th and who celebrated his first Mass according to the usus antiquior one week later. Here are a few photos from that joyous event.
