St. Luke was very probably born of pagan parents at Antioch. Converted, he became the missionary companion of St. Paul, who called him “the most dear physician” and “his fellow laborer.” After the death of his teacher, according to reliable authority, he preached the Gospel in Achaia, where he died at a ripe old age. He wrote a Gospel and the Acts of the Apostles.
There is also an apostolate of the FSSP (Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri) located in Salzburg. The picture to the left is from their German website. It says, Priests for today in and for the Church. We are very much looking forward to hearing the traditional Mass everyday while we are there. Iterum, Deo gratias!
More fun and exciting news! We just booked a place to stay for 5 nights in Salzburg. Our semester break is coming up after one more week of classes, so we'll be heading for Salzburg a week from tomorrow and staying until the next Wednesday (31 Oct).
And, even more exciting, there was a note on the whiteboard outside the common room today that read: Extraordinary Form of the Roman Mass (1962) to be offered tomorrow in the upper chapel at 8:00 AM. All are welcome. Deo gratias!

Dear John and Lisa,
Have a great time in Salzburg. It's a really nice city. Have a good time with the FSSP too; what a great group of priests!
Love,
Mark
I still have an identity crisis with pews that face each other. I would rather that be left to the English and Goofy Tom Monaghan. Oh well.
On the bright side.... John, Fr G has ALTAR RAILS in place. And all the carpet in front of the sanctuary is gone!! The hard wood floors will be sanded, stained, resealed and prepared for any future accident with the the Precious Blood or the Sacred Host.
HOW COOL IT THAT MY FRIEND??
Dave
Thanks Mark, I'm sure we'll have a great time.
Dave,
These of course are the choir stalls, designed that way, I think, for the purpose of singing the office (I could very well be wrong about that). I'm sure the pews for the faithful in the pictured church face the altar.
Great news about the Altar rails at OSP! I saw pictures earlier today on Mara's blog. They look great! What a tremendous step forward.
