The Cathedral of St Paul in Birmingham, Alabama, will have a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form on the feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, featuring William Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices, offered for the healing and purification of the Church. The Mass will begin at 6:30 pm; the church is located at 2120 Third Avenue. Following the Mass, Adoration will be held through the night, from 8:30 pm to 8:30 am, as an act of reparation for the crimes of sexual abuse by the clergy; prayers will be offered each hour in English and Spanish. In the morning, the Mass of Our Lady of Sorrows will be offered in the Ordinary Form, for the healing of the victims.
This is the second notice we have posted in as many days of an initiative such as this; NLM will be very happy to share notice of other special events of prayer and reparation as we receive them.
