The Value of the Mass

The Value of the Mass
Up to our own times, it has been the constant concern of supreme pontiffs to ensure that the Church of Christ offers a worthy ritual to the Divine Majesty, 'to the praise and glory of His name,' and 'to the benefit of all His Holy Church - Pope Benedict XVI, Summorum Pontificum

Places of Prayer

I thought I would share with you some images of the chapel and sacristy at the rectory at Holy Family. This chapel is used for visiting priests saying private Masses as well as a private place to say their office.

The chandler gives it a nice Victorian look I think.

This altar was recently put in last summer. I think it's quite elegant if I do say so myself.


The sacristy was just recently completed and has everything a priest could want.
Vessels
Vestments
veils, maniples, stoles, etc.
vesting prayers and various missals (my favorite is on the bottom)

Zach!

Thanks so much for the view! I've never been in the sacristy, though my sons are there all the time. I've wondered what it looked like. Lovely photos! The private chapel is absolutely perfect. Holy Family truly is "God's favorite parish!"

Prie-Dieu's are not hard to make. All you need is a couple of 2x4's a pillow and some wood stain.

Are there any differences between the 2 Lectionaries and the 2 Sacramentaries in the last picture?

Also, are there any Latin editions of these 2 books at Holy Family?

I don't think I have your email address. Do you have mine? (It should come through with my comments.)
