Saturday, December 8, 12:00 (noon)
Sung Latin Mass
in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite
Celebrant: Rev. Fr. Harry Neely, O.S.A.
It was fitting that the Word of God should become flesh in the womb of the most perfect woman: the Blessed Virgin Mary; who, at the very moment of her conception by her parents, was also sanctified by the Holy Spirit. On December 8, come to St. John of the Cross in Lemon Grove and hear the ancient prophecies about Mary sung in the timeless tones of Gregorian chant.
