Christmas Masses

December 22, 2016 by James

We remind our friends and neighbors that the setting is cramped and we do not have the best conditions for the fitting celebration of the Liturgy. You could probably chose better places to celebrate the Christmas Masses

Mass in the Night (Saturday, 24 December at 8:30 PM): Readings: Isaiah 9:1-7; Titus 2:11-14; Luke 2:1-14.  An abbreviated Vigils service, integrated with the community Mass, will be celebrated at 8:30 PM, Abbot Joseph Wittstock presiding and preaching.

Mass during the Day (Sunday, 25 December at 11:00 AM): Readings: Isaiah 52:7-10; Hebrews 1:1-6; John 1:1-5, 9-14. The community Mass will be celebrated at 11:00 AM, Abbot Joseph Wittstock presiding and Fr. James Orthmann preaching.

Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament will follow the Second Vespers of Christmas Sunday evening at 5:30 PM.
