All Souls Dominican Rite Missa Cantata in Oakland CA

Mass at the High Altar of the Priory

I am pleased to remind our readers that this coming Saturday, November 2, at 10 a.m., a traditional Dominican Rite Missa Cantata Requiem Mass will be celebrated at St. Albert the Great Priory, 5890 Birch Court, Oakland CA on the occasion of All Souls Day.  This Mass is organized by the students of the Western Dominican Province, who will sing the Dominican Propers and Ordinary, as well as serve the Mass.

The Missa Cantata will be preceded by the Ordinary Form Community Mass of All Souls at 8 a.m., and so will use the texts of the Second Mass of All Souls.  It will be followed by the Third Mass of All Souls (Low Mass, Dominican Rite) at 11:15 a.m.  All three Masses, including the Community Mass are open to the public.

Confessions will be heard for the First Saturday Devotion from 9:30 to 9:50 in the Priory Chapel (Gospel-Side Transept).  The chapel is most easily entered at 6172 Chabot Road, Oakland CA, where there is also public parking in the old tennis court.
