NEW YORK – A small religious community dedicated to the Traditional Latin Mass in the Diocese of Covington, Kentucky, that once had aspirations of becoming a religious institute, now finds itself in limbo after its two priests were barred from public ministry.
Bishop John Iffert of Covington has requested the resignation of Fr Shannon Collins, pastor of Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in Park Hills, Kentucky, and removed Fr Sean Kopczynski as the parish’s parochial vicar, after the former spoke in a critical fashion about the current version of the Mass.
