Bishop Boyea Mass postposted again
"Bishop Boyea has had to reschedule the Tridentine Mass he will be celebrating at Flint's All Saints Church yet again. The date of December 7 that we announced in our October 19 column became impossible, because His Excellency has to attend the installation of the new coadjutor Archbishop of Cincinnati that day. A new date has yet to be coordinated between His Excellency and the Flint Tridentine Community; we will announce it as soon as we are made aware. Bishop Boyea extends his apologies to everyone; now that he is a Diocesan Ordinary, his schedule is in many ways out of his control."

The Traditional Latin Mass returned to St. Thomas the Apostle, Ann Arbor, and was also celebrated at Old St. Patrick, Ann Arbor.
The following description was published in Tridentine Community News:
"Last Saturday, November 22, two Tridentine weddings occurred simultaneously in Ann Arbor, one at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, and the other at Old St. Patrick’s Church. The latter was a Solemn High Mass, the first such wedding held in our part of the world in approximately 40 years. This was all the more noteworthy considering that the Ann Arbor area does not yet have a publicly celebrated Tridentine Mass."
