Saturday, September 4

 
Back in Liturgical Shape

The year has begun and so has our Saturday Solemn Mass for the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Mass is back and it's solemner than ever... which is to say, um, funner. Not to mention, better-attended: about 45 college students were up and at 'em (ritually speaking) by 9am on a Saturday (for you non-college students, this implies about 5-6 hours of sleep). And all for Our Lord's Blessed Virgin Mother.

We owe significant thanks to the donors who made possible the bells and communion chin-paten... (as well as any donors who might feel compelled to supply silk brocade...) Chalice veils and altar frontals, these are a few of our favorite liturgical things. So, THANKS TO ALL!

In breaking liturgical news, Notre Dame will soon witness its first completely Latin Mass (Novus Ordo) in a while. We've had a handful of priests on campus excited to offer their services in offering these Services. With any luck, our Misa will go Solemnis this next Saturday, and periodically thereafter -- so, wish us luck!

In the words of one first-time participant... "The best Mass on the Notre Dame campus. Thanks for doing this."
