Hi Ricki and everyone, Interesting observation re the latin mass. I belong to a tridentine parish in Ottawa Ontario Canada. Our parish has existed for about thirty years - in fact we never really gave up our latin tradition and the parish has seen a sizeable growth thanks to Pope John Paul II.
Our parish Web site is www.st-clementottawa.ca. My husband is the Web master. Look at the pictures of our masses. You'll see some beautiful vestments. The reason I got into bobbin lace a little over one year ago was to make lace for our priests. I've got lots of learning, doing and undoing before making a valuable contribution but I'll get there.
