Sung Mass of  the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary
in the Extraordinary Form
Celebrant: Rev. Fr. Burt J. Boudoin

On Saturday February 2, we invite you to St. Charles Borromeo in Imperial Beach to the Traditional Latin Mass sung in honor of the purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary. According to Mosaic Law, she had to wait 40 days after giving birth before bringing a sacrifice to the temple. She complied in the presence of Simeon the Just and the prophetess Anna. On that day, as the Child Jesus is recognized as the Light of the World, candles are blessed and distributed to the faithful. A procession follows and then Holy Mass.
