- Traditional Latin Mass workshop for Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian priests
in Vitebsk, Belarus – 13 to 17 July 2010.
Mr. Oleg Michael Martynov of Una Voce Russia (and Una Voce Council member) reports that the region’s first official workshop for priests who want to obtain or improve their knowledge of how to say Holy Mass in the extraordinary form (usus antiquor, or the so-called Tridentine Mass) will be held in Vitebsk, Belarus, on July 13 to 17, 2010. The workshop, taught by Fr. Ivo Ounpuu of the Apostolic Administration of Estonia, will be a joint effort of Una Voce Albaruthenia (Belarus), Una Voce Russia, and the parish of St. Barbara Cathedral in Vitebsk. The parish, served by the Dominican Fathers, features Holy Masses in the extraordinary form (Roman Rite) three times a week, being the first such place in Belarus.
Participation will be free of charge for the priests, including accommodation and meals. Every priest in good standing, Latin or Eastern biritualist, is welcome (the main focus is on priests who serve in Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine). The workshop will be taught in Polish with simultaneous translation into Russian.
The Bishop of Vitebsk, Mgr. Wladislaw Blin, has granted his blessing to the event, and Mgr. Athanasius Schneider, O.R.C., the Auxiliary Bishop of Karaganda (Kazakhstan), will celebrate a Pontifical Mass during the workshop. Those willing to take part in the workshop are asked to contact the organizers:
email: seminar.for.priests@gmail.com phones: +7-963-657-0452 (in Moscow) +375-29-368-20-90 (in Vitebsk).
N.B: Priests who are not Belarusian, Russian, or Ukrainian citizens should contact the organizers as soon as possible in order to obtain Belarusian entry visa in time.
Leo Darroch writes: This training workshop is a wonderful example of collaboration between a number of groups which has the blessing of the local bishop. The organisers are praying that some kind benefactors may help them with the expenses that are being incurred; particularly as the priests are being given free accommodation and meals. If you would like to help please send a donation via our ‘Donate’ button and say it is for the Belarus training.

- The International Federation Una Voce Welcomes Four New Members.
In the past 2 years, since the promulgation of Summorum Pontificum, there has been a greater awareness and an upsurge of interest in the traditional Roman rite in many countries, and especially in Central and South America. Many people have come together in groups to request the Extraordinary Form of Mass. A number of groups in different countries have been in discussions with the Federation for advice and guidance and four of these groups have applied to join the Federation. The council of the Federation has accepted these applications and accordingly the following groups have now been admitted to the Federation.
- UNA VOCE PERÚ
- UNA VOCE COLOMBIA,
Negotiations are ongoing with other groups and we encourage anyone who seeks advice and guidance to contact the Federation via info@fiuv.org.
