Rorate Caeli Mass
A Rorate Caeli Mass will be held on the First Saturday of December, Saturday, December 4, 2021 at 6 a.m. This is a traditional Advent devotion wherein the Votive Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary for Advent is offered just before dawn. Accompanied by candlelight in an otherwise dark church, the interplay of light and darkness speak to the meaning of Advent and the coming of the Light of the world.
Our first Rorate Caeli Mass was offered in 2019 by Fr. Olkowski. We are grateful to Fr. Tcheou for restoring this tradition once again and hope you can join us!
