Father Carcerano

Father Carcerano has been a tremendous blessing to our Traditional Latin Mass community over the years, beginning with his assignment as pastor at Mission San Buenaventura.  Not knowing how to say the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, he would come into the church during Mass to pray alongside us in the pews.  As his interest in this form of the Roman Rite grew, he began to study the rubrics and learned to say the Low Mass.  After a period of time, he went for training at the FSSP Guadalupe Seminary for the sung Mass (Missa Cantata).  Father always took the greatest care to follow the rubrics of the Mass.  He has blessed us with his wisdom and prudence in the confessional and when spiritual guidance was offered.  He always made himself available for confessions, baptisms and funerals.

We certainly will miss him and wish him well in his new assignments in Los Angeles.  If you wish to send him a thank-you card and/or Spiritual Bouquet, please contact:    latin.mass.smm@gmail.com with your full name & city.
