Dear Editor: Sept. 11, 2005, a priest prayed the Mass of the Tridentine Rite in the chapel at St. John’s Cemetery. Indira Sweeney McGrath and a good helper worked with him to bring this about.

Ten years later, on Christmas Day, this same priest, now a Bishop, prayed the Mass again. With his faith and guidance what was once a few grew to overflowing. Babe in arms to seniors, all nations, and races, people for other states. Harmony and belief have been brought about by the strength of this man, Bishop James Massa. May his example inspire others.
