Bishop James Massa |
Sunday evening I joined some eighty pilgrims at beautiful Holy Name of Jesus Church (245 Prospect Park West) in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn for Solemn High Traditional Latin Mass for the Feast of the Transfiguration of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mass was sung by Celebrant and homilist the Most Reverend Bishop James Massa. Fr. Joseph Zwosta was the Deacon and Fr. Tomasz Szczepanczyk was the Subdeacon. The sacred ministers were dutifully assisted by Eddy Toribio (MC), Chris Carvajal, Brian Hilley, Lorenzo Tinio, Robert Jurman, John Leicmon, James Pierre and Matthew Wise.
The motets and musical setting of the Mass were composed by organist and choir director David Adam Smith. They were gloriously chanted by Ryland Angel (tenor), Art Bryan Manabat (tenor), Phillip Cheah (bass), and Peter Walker (bass).
Thank you Rev. Lawrence D. Ryan, Pastor and members of the Holy Name congregation for your continued warmth and hospitality. Special thanks to Cindy Brolsma and organizers for your hard work and dedication. Once again, it was a great joy to celebrate our faith together.
The next Latin Mass at Holy Name of Jesus Church will be celebrated on Friday, September 15, 2017 at 7:00pm for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
