It is a Novus Ordo mass…

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

But it will be celebrated by a monk from one of my favorite monasteries in Bavaria, which brews one of Germany’s finest beers, and takes place in one of the most magnificent churches in Manhattan – Most Holy Redeemer! Kloster Andechs Week – See below:

Blessing from Kloster Andechs
with Father Valentin, a wooden keg, and the JaJaJa’s
Thursday, Nov. 21st, 6pm

Radio interview tonight at 5pm

German/English Mass
on Sunday, November 24th at noon

Dear beer disciples,

Father Valentin from the Andechs monastery & brewery has arrived in NYC, to visit the “birth place” of Andechs Bier in the USA – Zum Schneider!

Tonight, Tuesday, November 19th at 5pm, he will be speaking together with Sylvester Schneider on a live broadcast show called “beer sessions” on Heritage Radio Network.

On Thursday, November 21st, 6pm, Father Valentin is going to bless the Andechser Bier at Zum Schneider, before picking up the wooden mallet to tap a wooden keg of Andechser Bier. This will start a night of celebration, with live music by the JaJaJas.

On Sunday November 24th at 12 noon, Father Valentin will hold a mass, together with Father McGillicuddy, in German and English. It’s going to take place very close to Zum Schneider, at the “Most Holy Redeemer” church (173 East 3rd St, betw. Ave A&B).

Following the service, as it is custom in Bavaria, we will head to Zum Schneider for a Mass of Andechser Bier to say goodbye to Pater Valentin in style. (NB: “Mass” is the (south) German word for a kind of large “Stein” – SC)

We want to thank Father Valentin for making the effort of traveling all the way to NYC and also would like to thank everyone involved organizing the events during his stay.
We hope you can join us in this celebration of one of the greatest beers in the world.

Prost!

Sylvester Schneider

PS: There is a book about the history of the Andechs Monastery with pictures and illustrations laying out at Zum Schneider for your enjoyment.

The Most Holy Redeemer Church was founded in 1844 to serve Klein Deutschland’s large immigrant German population. Not long after a first church was built, the immigrant Germans who made up the parish began work on the current Most Holy Redeemer Church, building it in the ornate German Baroque style. It opened in the spring of 1853 and still looks much like it did back then, including a marbled interior, imported German stained-glass windows, and eight small side chapels. Many have called Most Holy Redeemer “the German cathedral”.
