Holy Hour every Friday from 7:00—8:00 PM
"The Lord Be With You" — we hear this so often in the Mass. This simple statement
reflects the awesome reality that the Lord Jesus is present in our midst — most especially in the
Blessed Sacrament. Aware of the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist, we will be having a Holy Hour every Friday evening from 7:00 until 8:00 PM. The
Holy Hour will consist of Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Vespers (Evening Prayer) and Benediction.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation will also be available.
Tridentine Mass (Latin) Celebrated Every Second Sunday of the Month
The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (in Latin) will be celebrated every second Sunday of the month at 1:30 PM in the Cathedral.
All are welcome, and this Mass will meet the Sunday obligation. The Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite is celebrated according to the Roman Missal promulgated in
1962 by Pope St. John XXlll and those other liturgical books associated with its use. The biggest differences
noticeable by those familiar with the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite (the current Roman Missal
promulgated in 1970 by Pope St. Paul VI) are as follows:
Mass is celebrated in Latin;
Mass is celebrated ad orientem (with the priest and the people facing the same way, liturgical east, towards the
apse of the church);
Parts of the Mass are read by the priest in a low voice;
and Holy Communion is only received kneeling and on the tongue.
For those new to Mass in the Extraordinary Form, missal's will be available to help you follow along.
Holy Hour for Vocations — First Saturday of
the Month — 8:00 AM
Mass followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, the Rosary,
and Benediction.
St. John Vianney's Prayer for Priests
God, please give to Your Church today many
more priests after Your own heart. May they be
worthy representatives of Christ the Good
Shepherd. May they wholeheartedly devote
themselves to prayer and penance; be examples
of humility and poverty; shining models of
holiness; tireless and powerful preachers of the
Word of God; zealous dispensers of Your grace
in the sacraments. May their loving devotion to
your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his
Mother be the twin fountains for fruitfulness for
their ministry. Amen.
