Last August, an estimated 1,000 Catholics of Saint Louis, Missouri, joined by pilgrims from abroad, celebrated the feast of St. Louis IX with the sixth annual Festival of Saint Louis.
The festival was comprised of a Holy Rosary Novena, a Grand Banquet, Seven-cope Vespers, the entire Divine Office of the feast, a Solemn Mass, and procession with a relic of St. Louis to the Apotheosis in Forest Park.
The event’s sponsors included: Fraternitas Sacrae Domini Coronae, The Oratory of Ss. Gregory & Augustine, St. Francis de Sales Oratory, The Cantores Sancti Ludovici, Oratorio, local Knights of Columbus Councils, and the Latin Liturgy Association.
Preparations for the seventh annual Festival of Saint Louis are already underway. For more information, visit the website here.
We thank Mrs. Kiera Petrick from the Oratory of Ss. Gregory & Augustine for photos of Solemn Mass, Second Vespers, the procession, Holy Rosary, and the dance at the Apotheosis. We thank Mr. Camden Scobey of St. Francis de Sales Oratory for photos of First Vespers.
