Latin Masses Increase by 25%. Corona Effect?

With the decision of the Society of Saint Pius X to double the number of Masses at their St. James Church in Pittsburgh in response to the Coronavirus, there will be five publicly offered Traditional Latin Masses in the Greater Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, metropolitan area on the Third Sunday in Lent, 15 March 2020.  This is a record number of publicly offered Traditional Latin Masses on a Sunday in Pittsburgh since the introduction of the Novus Ordo.


For from the rising of the sun even to the going down, my name is great among the Gentiles, and in every place there is sacrifice, and there is offered to my name a clean oblation: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord of hosts.  Malachi 1:11 Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)
