There is a story over at New Liturgical Movement about a parish in the Diocese of Sioux Falls, South Dakota that has fully instituted the “ad orientem” for the celebration of Holy Mass. This is wonderful news. What I found interesting is that the Bishop of the diocese – Bishop Paul J. Swain, is a native of Newark, NY. Newark is within the diocese of Rochester. Something good as come out of the DoR.

God bless that priest, for showing that ad orientem is not as scary or hideous as the liberals make it out to be.
The ad orientem posture is gaining followers around the country, with hierarchy and laity alike embracing it.
