The Brothers of the Little Oratory in San Diego are organizing a Rorate Mass (a Votive Mass in honor of the Virgin Mary for the season of Advent) in the Traditional Roman Rite to be celebrated on the top of Iron Mountain in Poway, starting before dawn, on Saturday, December 5. At 4:00 (sharp), we will leave from the parking lot and ascend the mountain.  Please be adequately equipped for a hike (shoes, hat, clothes, water, snacks, a flashlight) and carry a candle to be lit during the Mass.

IMPORTANT UPDATE

We decided to anticipate the start time from the parking lot to 4:00 to make sure the Rorate Mass will start before dawn. If you are a fast walker, you are free to start later and catch us on the way or on the top. Last Sunday, carrying only a water-bottle and keeping a brisk pace, it took me 55 minutes from the parking lot to the summit.
