This past Wednesday and Thursday, Bishop Athanasius Schneider was hosted by The Cincinnati Oratory. On Wednesday, he spoke at the annual dinner. On Thursday, he celebrated a Pontifical Mass in the traditional rite at Old St Mary’s Church in Cincinnati, Ohio, the home of the Cincinnati Oratory, in celebration of the canonization of the Blessed John Henry Newman.
The Pontifical Mass begins with a procession and vesting of the bishop. This process symbolizes the removal of the Bishop’s secular clothes and the vesting with the sacred, in preparation for the sacred.
My pictures from the dinner weren’t very interesting, but I wanted to share the pictures of my old parish. I’ve mentioned Old St. Mary’s in the past, and someday I’ll write a post on the turbulence I witnessed from the 80’s into the 90’s while Bernadin and Pilarczyk sought to unravel this traditional parish.
