A set of new vestments for use on solemn feasts has been procured for the parish. A celebrant’s chasuble, two concelebrant chasubles, and two dalmatics comprise the set.

Next Sunday, June 24, is the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist. So important is the figure and mission of the Baptist that liturgically the celebration of his birth takes precedence over the observance of the Sundays of Ordinary Time. Thus, the readings and texts of the Mass next week will be those of the Solemnity rather than the 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

Everyone is welcome in the Lord’s House, to be sure, but we should take the time and effort to remind ourselves and our fellow Catholics that Mass—our meeting with the Lord—is important!! Appropriate attire also provides a respect for those who worship with us and preserves the modesty that we are called to practice. Click the article title for the full article.
