For those of you who have never had an opportunity to attend a Solemn Pontifical Mass in the usus antiquior, you may be interested to know that the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius, along with Bishop Joseph Perry, an auxiliary of the archdiocese of Chicago, will be celebrating one live on EWTN tomorrow, July 1st, on the Feast of the Most Precious Blood in the calendar of the usus antiquior.
The Mass will begin airing at 8:00am EST (and will be re-aired at midnight EST). The Schola will be comprised of the Poor Clare nuns and the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius.
In addition to the Pontifical Mass, Bishop Perry and Fr. Frank Phillips of the Canons Regular will be on the programme, EWTN Live with guest host, Fr. Joseph Wolfe, MFVA, to discuss the re-invigoration of the St. John Cantius parish.
