On
Saturday, October 27, 2012 the Toronto Traditional Mass Society--Una Voce
Toronto held its 8th Annual General Meeting following its founding in 2004. We
present here, our summary.
As has
become our custom, the day begins with the Holy Mass, this year, a Missa
Cantata for Our Lady's Saturday after Pentecost followed by a wonderful brunch.
Our Guest Speaker, Mr. Damian Goddard was our guest speaker and spoke from his
heart about his love for Christ and His Church and his conviction to the truth.
We provided our Treasurer's Report and President's Report. The Constitution of
the Society was significantly amended. Those of the existing Board were
re-elected and new Directors were added for a total of nine. All votes were unanimous;
note, there was not one dissenting vote!
The
fact that the votes were unanimous is a great blessing. The meeting was the
largest attended ever since the founding of the Society and there were more
paid-up members at the date of the AGM than at any other time in our history.
Our liturgical assets continue to grow and now include:
Missale

Usus Antiquior a major fundraising dinner and collaboration with those who are
prepared to move forward in faith, harmony and fraternity.
