Mass in Honor of St. Lucy in Hoboken

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

On Saturday, December 13th at 10:00 a.m. there will be a Traditional Latin High Mass sung in honor of the feast of St. Lucy, at the Chapel of Santa Febronia at 557 5th Street, Hoboken, N.J., where her statue is venerated.

The Santa Febronia Chapel was founded in 1927 by immigrants from Patti, Sicily to honor their patroness the Virgin Martyr Saint Febronia and the Madonna of Tindari. The chapel, still the private property of the society, is one of the most important Sicilian American as well as Catholic heritage sites in the country due to its very unique history. The chapel both in its interior and exterior have been unchanged from its founding and its faux marble niched altar is a brilliant work of immigrant folk craftsmanship. The statues of Santa Febronia and Our Lady of Tindari are simply stunning.

This will be the first Traditional Mass held at the chapel since the Second Vatican Council. Proceeds from the collection will be used to restore the chapel basement destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.
