Month's Mind 5pm Mass for Pope Benedict XVI

​Our mourning for Pope Benedict XVI will conclude with a Requiem Mass on Wednesday, February 1st at 5pm. This commemoration follows the tradition of the Month's Mind--a requiem offered a month after death. Still widely practiced in Ireland to this day, the Month's Mind was especially popular in the English church prior to the Reformation. St. Bede writes of the practice having great antiquity.

Candelmass, 6pm Mass

We celebrate Simeon's prayer proclaiming that Christ will be "a light to lighten the Gentiles" and "the glory" of God's people, Israel. The congregation holds lighted candles to emphasize this, and liturgical candles for the entire year are blessed at the altar. You may add your family prayer candles for the blessing. We're planning a full choir, and don't forget pot providence after Mass! The live streamed Mass will be available on our YouTube channel, or by clicking below:

Septuagesima

We gather for the highpoint of the week as we renew our covenant in Christ Jesus and experience sacramental union with him. Then, the world is transformed as the Kingdom grows through lives transformed in Christ. Fellowship in the Undercroft after Mass further fortifies us for the week ahead. Our Sunday schedule now begins with CGS at 8:30, morning prayer at 9am in the main church, confessions starting at 9:30, and a 10am Sung Mass. Please visit our signup page to help with the coffee hour after Mass. The live streamed Mass will be available on our YouTube channel, or by clicking below:
