Before the beginning of the new liturgical year, here are a few photopost items, one sent in yesterday, and two others which ought to have gone in with the All Saints and All Souls posts, but slipped through the cracks of my email. (My apologies to those who sent them in.)
St Catherine of Alexandria – Karis, Finland
Missa cantata on the patronal feast day, sung by the Schola Gregoriana from Turku; the building belongs to the Evangelical church of Finland, which hosted the local Catholic community as it has in the past, to celebrate the Mass for which it was built. The church was built in 1470; note that a lot of the original decorations are preserved. (Courtesy of Thomas Nguyễn)
Oratory of St Joseph – Hammond, Indiana (ICRSP)
Mass, Procession and Benediction on the Institute’s patronal feast day.
All Saints’ Day
All Souls
St Anne – San Diego, California (FSSP)
First Vespers of the feast of All Saints, followed by Benediction; sung with the Brothers of the Little Oratory and the Chorus Breviarii San Diego.
