Three bishops in attendance. Solemn Vespers sung by His Excellency J. Augustine di Noia, O.P. The visiting choir, which was absolutely fabulous, was from Ireland: The Lassus Scholars, conducted by Ms. Ite O'Donovan. Priests and seminarians assisted in copes. Lots of clergy present. A wonderful celebration. All part of the Year For Priests Rome Conference for English-speaking clergy: http://www.yearforpriests-clergyconferencerome2010.org/.
Your title is misleading. This conference and the the reason for the liturgy has nothing to do with the FSSP. The venue from St Stefano of the Abyssinians in the Vatican was changed less than 24 hours before the event. No doubt the organizers are grateful to Fr Kramer's hospitality here in providing Trinita dei Pellegrini at such short notice,but your title is still misleading - it implies the FSSP were involved in the decisions for the liturgical programme in this conference - they were not.
ReplyDeleteit does catholicism great honor to see seminarians all dressed up in copes
