There are the ongoing efforts of both Una Voce - Central Oregon and various people unassociated with this Chapter to have the Extraordinary Form celebrated within this area. With these requests comes responses both in the positive, and in the negative. The positive responses are from various priests who believe, along with the Holy Father, that the TLM is beneficial not only to those to explicitly desire it, but to those who for whatever reasons do not, and that the TLM has in its nature to preserve and defend orthodoxy within the Church.

Currently, there are two priests (that I know of first hand) who are willing to celebrate the TLM in Central Oregon - most likely in Bend which serves as a sort of central area for most of the faithful here. This is substantial.  All that is left is for the faithful to demonstrate their desire for the TLM to the pastor's of their local parish. Unfortunately, it would seem that there is a general lack of awareness of the benefits to be rendered by the Motu Proprio and also a lack of knowledge on how to approach the pastors to request the Traditional Latin Mass.

It is the purpose of this Chapter to make available information that will facilitate this process through education and encouragement, and to bring together faithful who desire the TLM so that a "stable group" may be demonstrated.

It is important, then, that you spread the news of the MP to your friends and family, join this chapter of Una Voce, so that we may with "One Voice" request that the mass be also celebrated according to the 1962 missal.

In the mean time, UVCO will continue to update you all with current news both locally and throughout the world. It is important to be aware of how the Motu Proprio is either being implemented or not, and how the various clergy is responding.

If you have submitted a written request to the local pastor and received a response, please let UVCO know.
