Hello Everyone,
This is "just too cool to miss." This was part of my Facebook feed:
http://liturgyguy.com/2013/09/30/new-priests-and-the-old-mass/
Take a read! It's about how more priests are choosing the EF for their first Mass after ordination. You know that a newly ordained priest's first Mass is indulgenced right?
Anyways, it's a good article. Just shows you that there are fruits being yielded by Summorum Pontificum .... and it's looking somewhat better with each passing year.
Pax, Julian.

ANNUM PRIMUM, EST FINIS! Happy Blog-o-versary on Servimus Unum Deum + The Feast of St. Michael the Archangel (& Gabriel and Raphael in N.O)
Hello Everyone.
Well, I can't believe this, but this blog, this little labour of love for the Latin Mass from an altar server's perspective, is one year old. It was on Sept 29th last year that I decided to plunge ahead with this blog, to begin the journey of blogging on tips and run-throughs of altar serving in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, and give coverage to other Latin Mass efforts in the Archdiocese of Toronto that were not getting equal or additional coverage. Now, a number of serving posts exists, with others in progress, other areas of Traditional Catholicism, and even the Novus Ordo at times have been covered. Since inception, I`ve reached Over 25000K pageviews! I never thought this niche blog would get that in a year.
Tomorrow is also special besides this anniversary for another reason. This weekend, we arrive at a big feast day in the Church, which the Archdiocese of Toronto under His Eminence, Thomas Cardinal Collins, has ordered to be celebrated superseding the normal Sunday Ordoes. In the Novus Ordo and the EF in other areas of the world, this would be the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time or the Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost. This Sunday, he declared that the Feast of St. Michael and its associated readings be used as the Ordo for this Sunday. This is, to my understanding, for a number of reasons:
For now, as long as I continue to be involved with Latin Mass serving, the Servimus Unum Deum blog will continue onward in its 2nd year, and may under the patronage of St. Michael and through his intercession, that the Latin Mass may proliferate and grow in Catholic, positive, and Christ-centered means; may also the great commander of all the angels, continue to defend us from the spiritual assaults of the Evil One, whom he banished to Hell in the Great War in Heaven.
Pax Tibi Christi, Julian Barkin.

- To coincide with the ongoing implementation of the Pastoral Plan to enhance the Archdiocese of Toronto
- To coincide with the Year of Faith that has been promulgated by the Vatican
- Because St. Michael is the Patron saint of this Archdiocese, and is whom our Cathedral is named after
- Because we need his intercession in this time of our lives as Catholics.
For now, as long as I continue to be involved with Latin Mass serving, the Servimus Unum Deum blog will continue onward in its 2nd year, and may under the patronage of St. Michael and through his intercession, that the Latin Mass may proliferate and grow in Catholic, positive, and Christ-centered means; may also the great commander of all the angels, continue to defend us from the spiritual assaults of the Evil One, whom he banished to Hell in the Great War in Heaven.

A Brief Interlude .... "Vatican II" Saint Celebrates the Latin Mass .... PADRE PIO!!!
Hello Everyone.
Just a brief interlude, and coolness for me. Through a couple of blogs I read, I found out that the beloved St. Padre Pio celebrated the Latin Mass!!! And we've got video proof thanks to YouTube! It was his feast day in the Novus Ordo liturgical calendar in the Church, yesterday.
First this short clip in colour of the Last Mass that Padre Celebrated, which was a Solemn Tridentine/ Latin Mass or Missa Solemnis.
And second, my favourite clip, rare footage of the Saint while going about his daily duties and such in the Monastery. I like this clip because it shows him being himself, a holy monk, but human, expressing, joy, laughter, and other things with his fellow friars, and even a little joking around with the cameraman. We often hold saints like they are demi-gods, forgetting there can be none other than God himself, and his three persons with one Divine Nature in the Trinity. Seeing a film like this grounds you reality, but also puts a smile on your face, and even makes you realize, hey, perhaps it is possible to be human, and holy, like a saint ... this saint ... Padre Pio.
Pax Tibi Christi, Julian Barkin.
P.S. DONT FORGET SERVER PRACTICE THIS SATURDAY FOR SUD!!! SEE HERE!!!.

Don't worry, I'm Still Here
Hello Everyone,
Just checking in. I just haven't had time to get into some serious blogging work, between work and my other activities.
I do want to continue and finish the thurifer post in future. Also, I will be working on getting the September practice set up for the SUD Latin Mass serving group, though I will have to move it to another date to work commitments I cannot switch a shift for.
So don't worry, I haven't left the building yet. Just got a lot on my plate. Pax, Julian.
