Here are some pictures (and a video -- hopefully I can add more, if time permits) taken from the Confirmation Ceremony and Pontifical Low Mass in the Traditional Latin Rite (Extraordinary Form) at St. Margaret Mary's Church last Friday, May 20, 2010. It was a joyful occasion to welcome once again his Excellency, Bishop Salvatore Cordileone (Diocese of Oakland, CA). Reception followed in the Father Kozina Hall.

This is me with Bishop Cordileone. I gave his Excellency a "Brick-by-Brick" mug as a simple token of appreciation for his coming to our parish. This cool mug is available at Fr. John Zuhlsdorf's (aka Father "Z") WDTPRS Cafe Press store.
