On December 2, 2018, +His Excellency, Bishop Pates, joined the Traditional Latin Mass Community for our weekly celebration and our monthly potluck.
It was an honor for us to have him join us, and we appreciate that he has allowed us to celebrate this weekly since 2007. He preached and sat in choir, and it was the first time – to our knowledge – that a +Bishop has joined us for the Sunday celebration.
Ad multos annos, +Bishop Pates, and many blessings in retirement!
