Same applies for myself and other young Catholics. I don’t intend to go back to the New Mass ever again after going to a Traditional Latin Mass. Wish the Bishops of NZ would realise that and open their eyes after the massive decline in Mass attendance since the 60s!!

The Transalpine Redemptorists – priests and brothers – are a real treasure (I speak from experience) and Christchurch is indeed fortunate to have them close at hand. May God bless them always and may they continue to prosper in their Holy mission. Deo Gratias.
