Una Voce is an international lay organization of Roman Catholics faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and obedient to the authority of Benedict XVI. We are dedicated to maintaining the Roman liturgy codified by Pope St. Pius V, known as the Tridentine or Latin Mass, as one of the universally recognized and honored forms of Eucharistic celebration. Una Voce also promotes Latin, the official Church language, and Gregorian chant, the official Church music. |

From Ecclesia Dei: To all those Catholic faithful who feel attached to some previous liturgical and disciplinary forms of the Latin tradition, I wish to manifest my will to facilitate their ecclesial communion by means of the necessary measures to guarantee respect for their rightful aspirations. In this matter I ask for the support of the bishops and of all those engaged in the pastoral ministry in the Church. ...moreover, respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition, by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See, for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962 - - -Ecclesia Dei, 2 July 1988 To guard the treasure which Jesus confided to Her and facing the future resolutely, the Church has the duty to reflect continuously on Her link with the Tradition which has come to us from the Lord, through the Apostles, such as it has been established all down through history. In line with the spirit of conversion of the apostolic letter Tertio milennio adveniente (nn. 14, 32, 34, 50), I encourage all Catholics to make gestures of unity and to renew their adherence to the Church, in order that legitimate diversity and different sensibilities, worthy of respect, do not separate them from each other, but encourage them, rather, to preach the Gospel together. Stimulated, thus, by the Spirit who makes all charismata come together in unity, all will be able to glorify the Lord and salvation will be proclaimed to all the nations. - - -1998 Address on the Tenth Anniversary of Ecclesia Dei |

Long Anticipated Motu Proprio Issued July 7th The long heralded, long awaited, and in some circles long feared Motu Proprio "Summorum Pontificum" (Of the Supreme Pontiffs) was officially promulgated on July 7th 2007 AD. The full text is available here via the blog rorate-caeli along with a letter from the Holy Father explaining his actions and intentions here. A cursory reading indicates the Holy Father's will to grant the Mass on a daily basis along with the traditional forms of the other Sacraments. It leaves the establishment of the Mass up to the Parish priest as follows: In parishes, where there is a stable group of faithful who adhere to the earlier liturgical tradition, the pastor should willingly accept their requests to celebrate the Mass according to the rite of the Roman Missal published in 1962, and ensure that the welfare of these faithful harmonises with the ordinary pastoral care of the parish, under the guidance of the bishop in accordance with canon 392, avoiding discord and favouring the unity of the whole Church." Recourse to the Bishop, who is "strongly requested to satisfy their wishes", is to be exercised if the faithful are denied by the pastor. The Ecclesia Dei Commission is to advise if the bishop has difficulty crafting a solution. Since the directives contained in "Summorum Pontificum" do not take effect until Sept 14, we have time to speculate on how the implementation of this latest Motu Proprio will unfold. At the very least it publicly recognizes that the Mass of Pius V has never been abrogated and gives the faithful more tools to go about securing it for themselves and their children. Also, we predict the Norbertine Fathers will be incredibly busy, as will the traditional orders such as the FSSP and the ICKSP. Please support them as your circumstances permit! Let us pray that this directive from the Holy Father will be received in the spirit of true charity toward those who are drawn to the peace and solemnity of this Holy Mass. Traditional Catholic Networking A new idea has come across from a website, "lumengentleman.com". This website has set up a database all over the world for those interested in forming "stable groups" to ask for Tridentine Masses in their home parishes, as per the Motu Proprio which was promulgated in July, and effective September 14th. We encourage everyone to consider using the aforementioned website as a way to contact each other with this goal in mind. No personal information, even names, is posted or made public. We are impressed thus far with the growth of this database, and the fact that it is one remarkable "Trad "man, in his spare time, who put it together. If you are interested in participating, please click here ! New Masses Available We are pleased to announce that the Mass of the Ages has returned to St. Mary's By the Sea in Huntington Beach. It is offered at Noon every Sunday. Thanks be to our Lord! In addition, the Tridentine Mass (a.k.a. "extraordinary form of the Mass) is offered now at St John the Baptist Church in Costa Mesa, every Sunday at 12:30 p.m., St Thomas More Church in Irvine, on the second Sunday of each month at 12:30 p.m., and of course at the Pope John Paul II Polish Center in Yorba Linda every Sunday at 7 a.m. and at Mission San Juan Capistrano Serra Chapel every Sunday at 8 a.m. Faithful Servant Called Home We have lost a great champion of the Latin Mass. Fr. Harry Marchosky died 11 December in Oregon. A very moving account of his life and death may be found on the Remnant web site. There was a Tridentine Requiem Mass on Saturday 15 December at St. Michael's Abbey in Silverado. We ask you to pray generously for the repose of his soul. “Ego sum resurrectio et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet: et omnis qui vivit et credit in me non morietur in aeternum.” O Lord, incline Thine ear unto the prayers whereby we humbly call upon thee to show mercy unto the soul of Thy servant Fr. Marchosky which Thou hast commanded to depart out of this life; that it may please Thee to set him in a place of peace and light, and give him a part with Thy Saints. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen. We also ask you to please continue to pray for the soul of Father Daniel Johnson, former pastor of St Mary's by the Sea in Huntington Beach and for Herb Evander, former sacristan of Serra Chapel at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

Future Events Lenten Mission
Pilgrimage Paris - Chartres Pilgrimage May 30-June 1, 2098 Advance Planning is Essential!!
The actual 3-day pilgrimage will be May 30-June 1. Pilgrims meet, as usual, in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris at 6 a.m. on May 30th. Please contact us if interested in experiencing this awesome penitential event. secretary@uvoc.org . UVOC is not a
travel agency, but we are willing to serve as a resource
and coordinate your trip and help with finding airfare,
accommodations and make other recommendations. Passports
must be obtained on your own. Some helpful sites: We encourage families, and renting an apartment is a great way to keep costs down and manage the trip with the little people (a.k.a. children). Please copy & paste the following link, and keep a map of Paris nearby! In rare circumstances, very spartan accommodations can be found for free. This is only for those unable to afford the pilgrimage in any other way - it involves sleeping on the floor in a rectory, so please, only inquire if circumstances dictate. For information & assistance, please e-mail us or call (562) 691-5246. Past Events General Meeting - May 6 The General Meeting was held on May 6, at the St Joseph's Radio facilities. At the meeting, the officers were elected by those members present: Dave Lanfranchi, President; Damien Garcia de la Cadena, First Vice President; Paul Marchand, Second Vice President; Michael Rains, Treasurer; and Joy Lanfranchi, Secretary. Also presented were the financial report (we are solvent, with a little in the bank - please contact us directly if details are desired); the Fall Conference, which will likely be held in San Juan Capistrano; and the idea of "prayer squads". Prayer Squads will be asked to go to the local parishes when the Blessed Sacrament is exposed, and pray the Rosary -preferably in Latin- thus obtaining graces and raising awareness. Members will be contacted by e-mail or snail mail to alert them of when their local parish has holy hours, with the name & number of a squad leader who will coordinate times. Please respond when you are contacted! Ongoing Events Membership If you would like to join us, please contact UVOC either at the address & phone at the top of this page, or you can e-mail us. |
