I think our readers will enjoy this post by Fr. Vincent Kelber O.P. at Dominican Liturgy, so I am reposting it here.
Solemn High Mass was celebrated for the
patronal feast of Holy Rosary Church in Portland, Oregon. While the celebrant
was the parish’s pastor, Fr. Vincent M. Kelber, O.P., His Excellency Archbishop
Alexander Sample presided in choro and preached the sermon. The Cantores in Ecclesia
choirs performed the Josef Gabriel Rheinberger’s
Cantus Missæ.
Grieg’s Ave maris stella and the Gregorian
Chant Propers were also sung.
Our Lady of the Rosary
The image at the parish shrine depicts our Lady entrusting the promulgation of Most Holy Rosary to the Dominican Order. The images are crowned in observation of the feast.
