We have just been asked to post the following text, which we do with great pleasure.
“St. Colman’s Society for Catholic Liturgy will hold its annual Solemn High Mass, for the Holy Father’s intentions, on Easter Tuesday, 6 April 2010, at Sts. Peter and Paul’s, Cork City, at 11 am.
The proper texts for the Mass will sung in Gregorian by members of the Lassus Scholars, Dublin, under the direction of Miss Ite O’Donovan. The ordinary of the Mass will Orlando de Lassus’ Missa Paschalis with motets for the Easter season. C.M. Widor’s Toccata will also figure among the organ pieces.
Members of St. Colman’s Society are encouraged to attend this Mass which is also open to the general public.
The Society wishes to thank Fr. Patrick McCarthy, Parish Priest of Sts Peter and Paul’s, for having made the use of the church available for this Mass for the Holy Father’s intentions”.
St. Colman Mac Lenine pray for us!
I would love to attend this, but I will be out of the country.
ReplyDeleteOn a related note, I really like the image you used to illustrate this post. It shows that ad orientem worship has always been the norm and that versus populum is a very recent innovation.
