The St. Joseph FSSP parish in Rockdale unites us in our common goal to actively promote not only the Knights of Columbus, St. Joseph’s Parish, but also the Catholic Extraordinary Form [Latin] Traditional Roman Rite (also known as the Tridentine Rite) as last promulgated by His Late Holiness Pope John the XXIII and bolstered by His Late Holiness Pope Benedict the XVI’s Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum in 2007.
