This short video has highlights from St. Alban's Advent Lessons and Carols liturgy in the English-Catholic tradition. Fr. Evan Simington led the liturgy, while David Klosterman led our beautiful choir.
These Masses are in addition to the Sunday 11:30 a.m. Mass at St. Alban's. Confession will be available in the hour before Mass until 15 minutes before the start of the liturgy.
Our Bishop Steven J. Lopes was named the first bishop of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter by Pope Francis, and is the pastor of all Ordinariate members and clergy in the United States and Canada. In this interview with Salt & Light TV, Bishop Lopes discusses what the Ordinariate is in the life of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Advent Ember days fall this week on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday. These days are the Church's invitation to fast and pray for the growth of vocations. Ordinariate members are obliged to fast on Ember Fridays, but the fast is suspended on Dec. 8, because of the great feast of the Immaculate Conception!
