Next Saturday, November 16th, His Eminence Salvatore Cordilone, Archbishop of San Francisco, will celebrate a Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Extraordinary Form at the basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. This will be the first Mass in the traditional rite at which Frank La Rocca’s Mass of the Americas will be performed; we recently published an interview with Mr La Rocca by Roseanne Sullivan, which includes several videos of its various parts during an OF Pontifical Mass. The Mass will begin at 10 am; the church is located at 400 Michigan Ave NE.
