On Thursday, September 26th, members of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George participated in the Annual Missa Cantata for the Persecuted Church at the Church of the Holy Family (315 East 47th St.) in New York City. The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was sung by Celebrant Fr. Richard G. Cipolla, Knight Chaplain of Ecclesiastical Grace. Fr. Benedict Kiely, founder of nasarean.org, was the homilist. The sacred ministers were dutifully assisted by servers Daniel, Paul, Ricardo and Hugo, and members of the Schola Cantorum from the Church of the Holy Innocents in Midtown Manhattan. Cavalieri John Napoli and Charles Sant’Elia were in attendance.

Thank you Fr. Gerald E. Murray, JCD, Pastor; Fr. Joseph T. Chacko, Parochial Vicar; and members of the parish family for your warmth and hospitality. God bless Pete Clemente and the Order of Malta Auxiliary for sponsoring the Mass and their tireless efforts to promote the faith. As always, it was a great joy to celebrate our faith together.
