News from St. John the Evangelist Parish in Spencerport, NY
Fr. Justin Miller, the new Parochial Administrator at St. John the Evangelist Church in Spencerport, NY, is pleased to announce that the Tabernacle has been moved back to the center of the Sanctuary behind the main altar. It had been in a reposition chapel since a renovation around 2004.
Many have already commented how grateful they are for this change, and for the increased reverence and visibility of Jesus in their midst. Fr. Miller expressed appreciation for all the work done by the prior pastor, Fr. Peter Mottola, to establish this project and move it forward, as well as the current church renovation begun under his direction and effort.
Regarding further developments, Fr. Miller noted that the prior Mass schedule provided for Mass in the Extraordinary Form (TLM: Traditional Latin Mass) every Friday and on First Saturdays as well.
Fr. Miller has been in contact with the diocese regarding the future possibility of learning the TLM and receiving a faculty to celebrate Holy Mass in the Extraordinary Form.
In the meantime, a number of Masses in the Extraordinary Form will be scheduled as able, beginning with a High Mass for the Feast of the Transfiguration, with Fr. Peter Van Lieshout, Rector of Sacred Heart Cathedral, as guest celebrant:
