Dear Friends of the Charlotte Latin Mass Community,

Laudetur Iesus Christus!

Happy Birthday to the Blessed Virgin Mary … as today is the Feast of her Nativity.

We have a few updates to share, but first a quick note on changes to our email format.  In the past, our CLMC group would send out weekly long-form emails that were more of a newsletter format.  Going forward, our CLMC emails will be more focused on calendar announcements and changes.  Over time, this will result in fewer and shorter emails.

Our website [charlottelatinmass.org] has been updated and enhanced to include more comprehensive content and it will be updated more regularly.
