The Ostende Blog – Fr Christopher Young

Where it all began… Marriage and faith in the Catholic Church for Father and Mrs Young, who were Lutherans at the time. 1984.

8:00 am Mass, in the Ordinary Form, St Alphonsus church, Davenport. Confessions 7:30. Offered by Fr Young, intended for the happiness of Ellie Tarpey, whom he first met in 2003, when he was an Episcopal priest, and who will be married later this day, at Sacred Heart Rock Island, erstwhile parish of the late, beloved Fr Jerry Logan, who was instrumental in Fr Young’s conversion to the Roman Church.

Or, if you prefer, Holy Mass according to the pre-Conciliar Rite will be offered at O L Guadalupe parish, Silvis, Illinois also at 8:00.

BEGINNING NEXT SUNDAY 3 JULY, THE TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS AT HOLY FAMILY CHURCH, DAVENPORT WILL MOVE TO 11:00 O’Clock. Confessions and Rosary will precede beginning at 10:30.

I’m looking forward to enthronement at two homes of members our our community today, as I have so done in previous years. Here’s a photo of a family and their home in Ireland ninety years ago when Ireland was still Catholic. Today, we take steady, determined small steps as faithful ‘restorationists’.
