Rorate Mass Photopost 2022 (Part 6)

Before we move on to photos of your Christmas liturgies, here is one last set of Rorate Masses, a record-breaking sixth post in this annual series. This brings us to over 270 photos, from churches in 19 American states and 11 other countries, with several duplicates (three Canadian provinces, three locations in England etc.) We can all add to our other reasons for Christmas cheer the knowledge that the slow but steady work of recovering our Catholic liturgical tradition continues! 

We must also remember to pray for our beloved Pope Emeritus Benedictus XVI, to whose incomparable pastoral wisdom and good example this recovery is due in no small measure.
