New Sunday Mass times announced at the Oratory

There was some very good news at Mass this morning.

Beginning Sunday, December 7, 2008 there will be two Masses each Sunday at Old St. Patrick:

8:00 a.m.

We understand that this will be a Low Mass, and...

10:15 a.m.

We understand that this will be the sung High Mass 

of the day.

In addition, it was announced that the Oratory would resume its long practice of praying the Rosary prior to every Mass, also beginning December 7th. The Rosary will begin 25 minutes prior to each Mass.

In making these announcements, Father William Avis, Rector said, "we hope that these modifications in the schedule will promote greater devotion to our Blessed Lord in the Holy Sacrament of the Altar, to frequent confession and to the Mother of God, Mary most holy."

Father also invited Oratory members who would like to lead the rosary prior to each Mass to contact him to express your interest. His email address is in the right column of this blog or you may contact him by telephone: 816-931-5612.
