All are cordially invited to attend a Solemn Pontifical Mass in the usus antiquior which will be celebrated by His Excellency Salvatore J.

The Mass will begin at 6:30 p.m.; the shrine is located at 610 Vallejo Street.&
The Archbishop’s Schola will be there to sing the Byrd Mass for Four Voices, Byrd’s Emendemus in Melius, and Frank La Rocca’s Miserere, alongside all the proper chants.
