Does anyone have current information on Fr. Gavin Bitzer?

  • Hi. I'm trying to get into contact with Fr. Gavin Bitzer but his chapel website seems unmaintained and the number on there goes to voicemail. I was wondering if anyone living around the Kentuckiana area knew anything about him or had any current contact information. 

    Much appreciated, 

    Thanks.

  • About Our Lady of the Pillar Chapel - Our Lady of the Pillar Traditional Catholic Chapel (olpchapel.org)

    This website? They also have a contact form on it. Did you try it?

    I'd try calling again, and actually say you are looking to attend Mass. See if that makes a difference. Lots of people are hiding out/underground these days all over, just sayin.' If you aren't currently in the inside, it is more difficult to vet people.*

    In other words, if a person doesn't "maintain their website," that means nothing by itself. But usually persistence will pay off by phone. If you actually know someone that goes there/went there, you might want to mention it for the above reasons.

    The above circuмstances are exactly why I wouldn't want any random person hunting me down from a site like this, and I don't want my location listed. Too many weirdos that you cannot assess unless you know them in the flesh.*

    I'd be choked if a forum owner posted a location or personal information *NOT LISTED* about me in my personal bio/avatar space, etc. and have a bunch of people running after me, hunting in obituaries, etc. simply because I stopped posting here 10 days from now or 100 years from now. (Whatever the supposed good reason was--it's an invasion of privacy).

    If I don't post something myself, or answer a question directly, it is none of anyone else's business, period.

    I don't live in Kentucky, but I know people familiar with that area, that chapel, and others in the area, etc. But for various reasons I am not going to call them out of the blue. However, there is a lot of "problems" with some Mass chapels in Kentucky, and hence another reason why some chapels and Priests want nothing to do with said problems, and therefore like to lay low key.

    Good luck, and God bless, Anne.

  • I do know that they stopped posting Mass times last year b/c of Covid lockdowns, even though they still had Masses anyway.  Leave a message asking about Masses, and someone will call you back.  We had to do the same thing ourselves several years ago.  It might take more than one message, too, by the way, because I think it's also the school number.

  • I actually live an hour away from Louisville, but have not attended Our Lady of the Pillar (although I have been considering Latin Mass elsewhere from the SSPX chapel I attend). I would only suggest using the number provided on their website- someone will call back, that’s for sure.

    Probably the best course of action.

  • I went to OLOP for a few years when lived in "Loovul" some 15 years ago. Fr. Bitzer is solid, he always gave solid, orthodox Catholic sermons. He's definitely one of the good guys.

    Please, for the love of God, do not consider OLMC in Boston, KY, with Fr Pfeiffer.
