Great news in the Wilmington, NC area - another Mass in the Extraordinary Form! Fr. Aidan Logan (a Trappist monk/Navy chaplain) is a very holy priest, and was the Catholic chaplain at the Naval Academy during my last two years there (2005-2006). He and I became good friends, and I ran into him in the Charlotte, NC airport before my pilgrimage to Lourdes last Summer. He is one of the very patient priests (along with Fr. Parkerson) who "set me straight" towards the seminary while I was in college.
Here is Fr. Aidan in action. I hope many Catholics in that area of NC can take advantage of this weekly Mass:
Here is the notice from the Diocese of Raleigh's website:
The Forma Extraordinaria of the Mass will be celebrated every Sunday at the Catholic Chapel at Camp Lejeune beginning October 4. Father Aidan Logan, one of the Catholic Chaplains on the Marine Base will be the celebrant. At this time the Mass will be at 12:30 PM.
The Catholic Chapel is located in the St. Francis Xavier Building 17. To get on the base, a temporary pass is needed and can be obtained by stopping at the Visitor’s Center. A valid driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance are needed to receive a pass.
At present, five churches in the Diocese of Raleigh have scheduled regular celebrations of the Forma Extraordinaria:
Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh at 4:30 PM, fourth Sunday of every month.
Sacred Heart Church in Dunn at 12:00 PM every Sunday.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Rocky Mount at 6:00 PM every Sunday.
Saint Mary Church in Wilmington at 7:00 PM, the last Sunday of every month.
Saint Bernadette Church in Fuquay-Varina at 9:00 AM every Tuesday.

Brick by brick !
Wonderful news Philip. Thanks for letting us all know.
With the assurance of my prayers always,
Jane
Thank you, Fr Logan! Blessed Year of the Priest to you!
When I served at Camp Lejeune in the early fifties, what is now the Extraordinary Form of the Mass was the only Mass. Praise God for Father's good work in restoring this Mass to CLNC.
"Sacred Heart Cathedral in Raleigh at 4:30 PM, fourth Sunday of every month."
Is that in addition to the 1st Sunday of the month that the TLM is now offered in the cathedral, or is this just a typo?
We all sure want another TLM at the cathedral for once per month is not enough to build a community around.
Wonderful news for the Marines at my old base, Camp Geiger, though!
A true military man, by the book and a naval officer stay on course. A true follow of Peter.
Phil,
I have a few photos of The Mass.

Thanks for the good news. The Mass shown is at Assumption Grotto in Detroit, our "Tridentine Mass Central." Many holy priests and a Lourdes grotto there. Beautiful blog at www.te-deum.blogspot.com Thanks Philip! Pam B., Troy MI
