The First Masses of a Priest in Two Forms of the Roman Rite

Fr. Patrick Fenton, a diocesan priest of the diocese of Tyler in Texas, sent in some photos of his recent ordination and first masses which occured on the 2nd and 3rd of August.

In what can only be seen as a "sign of the (Pope Benedict) times", Fr. Fenton offered two Masses of Thanksgiving. The first of the two was a Mass of the Extraordinary Form celebrated at Saint Joseph the Worker in Tyler. The second was a Solemn Chant Novus Ordo Mass at Sacred Heart Parish in Nacogdoches, TX.
