    It was truly a blessing for me and my family to be at the Mass and see them confessing their faith and being accepted to the Catholic Church.

    Each person knelt and confirmed to be in full communion with the Catholic church,
    and the homily was also very moving.

    Profession of Faith
    "I believe and profess all that the holy Catholic Church believes, teaches, and proclaims to be revealed by God."

    The celebration of the Mass was humble, solemn, and holy, and the music was superb. (the congregation sang their parts beautifully as well as the choir.)

    The Mass was celebrated Ad Orientem,

    and the Communion guide from the handouts,
    'Communicants at Anglican Use Masses receive the sacrament kneeling at the altar rail unless prevented by health.  We also encourage communicants to consider the example of Masses celebrated by our Holy Father, Pope Benedict, where the faithful follow the custom of receiving the Host directly on the tongue."

    This parish will be an inspiration and example to others in this area in celebrating the Holy Mass.

    Deo Gratias

    There was a video recording, but I'm not sure about the sound quality. Many photos have been posted various places, including my Facebook.
