For those of you in the Orange County area in California there will be a Solemn high mass in the Anglican use tradition at the historical San Juan Capistrano mission. The mass will be held and the old chapel. Come see one of the most beautiful liturgies in the Catholic Church. if you’ve never attended an Anglican use mass it is highly reverent and very similar to the Latin Mass accept done in Shakespearean English. The mass will be at 2pm
 
I attended a solemn Maronite rite liturgy today in Uniontown, PA with EWTN’s Fr. Mitch Pacwa, concelebrated with seven priests from the area. Professional musicians from Lebanon chanted the hymns and responses in Syriac and Arabic. It was a most beautiful liturgy! Anyone in the area may want to attend the closing liturgy tomorrow at 10:30 A.M. at St. George Maronite Church. I consider this one of my special blessings to have the opportunity to attend this beautiful Mass.

Fr. Pacwa gave conferences during the day after Mass followed by a Q/A session. He amazes me with the knowledge he has, just off the top of his head.
 
Thanks Carlos 19 and Sirach 2.

Fr. Serra, who built that chapel in 1776 (:)!) would be 300 years old today if he were still alive (I mean down HERE). And probably celebrated a few masses in Latin there himself.

It is a SMALL, narrow, but beautiful rustic chapel. So get there early or you may have to kneel on the stone floor (like I always seem to have to do at morning masses there - those are in the vernacular however).

I am traditional hearted but involved in the other end of the spectrum tomorrow as a layperson “leading” a Communion Service - for a few kids at the County home who can’t get to mass (but for the ONE Sunday a priest does come to the secured facility).

Very unusual in the Diocese of Orange
but part of its “prison ministry” though the Children’s Home
is neither a jail nor juvenile hall - yet a very “secured” facility
one must be cleared to enter.

Although I’ll have already had communion (as a CSL I must consume any “extra” Eucharist even should I have planned to receive later at mass) before returning the empty pyx and other materials to the Catholic Chaplain’s office … it might be a nice balance to worship Jesus “again” (or better, “still”) in that beautiful mass which emphasizes Christ as KING and our vertical relationship so well.

Thanks for the information. San Juan Capistrano is near my home. TIMEwise … even closer to get to than my own parish!



At weekday morning masses, in the vernacular, the separated altar is used with the priest*** facing*** the congregation.

I can’t tell whether there is still an attached-to-the-back-wall altar beneath the tabernacle (as there used to be
everywhere when I was young) …

where the priest would minister with his face toward the tabernacle and his back to the congregation

– yet in the manner of being “the consecrated” part of the body leading all unto bringing the gifts to God.

Does the priest face the people or the tabernacle in this traditional mass?

No matter. I think I will soon find out. And whatever the case, I’ll keep my mind on Jesus. 🙂

Sounds like a truly beautiful Mass.
 
The two Anglican Use Masses that I have been to have been very beautiful and reverent. One was in San Antonio at the beautiful Our Lady of the Atonement Church, and the other is a parish that just last year converted their entire congregation to the Catholic Church here in Omaha.
