Change of Plans: Cardinal Egan will be Homilist not Celebrant of Solemn Mass

Posted by admin 

We received the following press release today:
New York’s /Agnus Dei/ Council of the Knights
of Columbus announced today that Edward Cardinal Egan would attend and
preach the homily at a Solemn Mass for the Feast of the Annunciation but
that he would not celebrate a Pontifical Mass as planned. The Mass will
mark the 15th anniversary of /Evangelium Vitae/ (The Gospel of Life),
the pro-life encyclical by Pope John Paul II issued on March 25, 1995.

In a brief statement received last week, the Cardinal asked that his
celebration of the Pontifical Mass “scheduled for March 25th at Holy
Innocents Parish be postponed to a later date.” The statement to the
Knights explained the reason for postponing the Pontifical celebration:

“Because of so many commitments over the last several weeks, the
Cardinal has not had time to prepare for the Mass properly. He looks
forward to arranging another date with the Knights of Columbus . . .
whose invitation he deeply appreciates.”

His Eminence will nevertheless attend and preach the homily at a Solemn
Mass for the Feast of the Annunciation according to the 1962 Missal
celebrated by Fr. James Miara of the Archdiocese of New York. The
Solemn Mass begins at 7:30 PM at the Church of the Holy Innocents, 128
W. 37th Street, in Manhattan, home to New York City’s Shrine of the
Unborn. Before Mass, there will be a Rosary for Life at 7:00 PM.

*WHAT*: Solemn Mass for Life, Edward Cardinal Egan, Homilist

*WHERE*: The Church of the Holy Innocents, 128 W. 37th Street,
Manhattan

*WHEN*: Thursday, March 25th; Rosary for Life, 7 PM; Solemn Mass, 7:30
PM
