Napa 2012 Pontifical Solemn Mass (EF) at the Faldstool

Below are photos from the Pontifical Solemn Mass in the Extraordinary Form at the Faldstool with the recently-appointed San Francisco Archbishop-elect Salvatore Cordileone. The Pontifical Mass was offered on the last day of the Napa Institute's Annual Conference "Equipping Catholics in the Next America" held last July 29, 2012, at the Estate Cave, The Meritage Resort in Napa (CA). This marks the 2nd time His Grace has celebrated a Pontifical Mass for the conference (see last year's post). His Excellency, Bishop Robert Morlino (Madison, WI), sat in choir. The Pacific Collegium sang at the mass.

2012 Ordinations at Florence, Italy

Update [7/31/12]: More photos of the ordination can be viewed here, as well as an excellent video. 

This week at the beautiful church of Sts. Michael and Gaetano in Florence, Italy, five seminarians from the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest were ordained to the priesthood by Raymond Cardinal Burke. There were also five others who were ordained deacons, and another ten were ordained subdeacons. 

Abbe Francis Altiere (leftmost), Abbe Andrew Todd (third from left), and Abbe Joel Estrada (rightmost) were seminarians who had served at the Institute apostolate of St. Margaret Mary's in Oakland, CA. Let us remember the newly ordained priests, deacons, and subdeacons in our prayers!
