Fr. Bonsignore's First Homily At St. Thomas
"If you are a former parishioner of St. Thomas the Apostle, welcome home. If you are a member of the Latin Mass Community at St. Stanislaus, welcome to your new home".
The history of our community is best explained by our Bishop, The Most Reverend Salvatore R. Matano, Ninth Bishop of Rochester. An excerpt from a letter from His Excellency regarding the Mass at St Thomas the Apostle:
"The celebration of Holy Mass in the extraordinary form has been made available to the faithful of the Diocese of Rochester on a regular basis following the Apostolic Letter of Pope John Paul II, given as a "Motu Proprio", on July 2, 1988.
This Mass has been celebrated on Sunday afternoon at Saint Stanislaus Kostka Church in Rochester. Saint Stanislaus parishioners have very graciously welcomed those attending the extraodinary form of the Mass and for this I am most grateful to Father Roman Caly, the Pastor, and the entire faith community at Saint Stanislaus.
However, since those attending Mass in the extraordinary form has remained a significant, enduring number of persons, consideration has been given to scheduling the Mass at a more opportune time on Sunday mornings.
Saint Thomas the Apostle Church in Irondequoit, New York, a member church of Saint Kateri Tekakwitha Parish, under the pastoral supervision of Father Paul English, CSB, was recognized as being able to accommodate the celebration of Mass in the extraordinary form on Sunday mornings at 11:15 AM.
In addition, Holy Mass also will be offered at 9:00 AM in the ordinary form of the Mass and the extraordinary form of the Mass".
We are extremely grateful to Bishop Matano & Fr. Lance Gonyo (current St. Kateri pastor) for his support of our growing community.
