The following report and photos are from Arrys Ortanez:
Solemn Mass (EF) for Ember Friday in Pentecost celebrated by the newly-ordained Rev. Fr. Sean Connolly of the Archdiocese of NY, a dear friend to The Church of the Holy Innocents where the Mass was celebrated. This was also one of the celebrant’s first Masses of Thanksgiving. Father was assisted by the Rev. Fr. Joseph Zwosta of the Diocese of Brooklyn. Fr. Stephen Giulietti acted as deacon and Fr. Father-Matthew Mac Donald as Sub-Deacon and Mr. Eddy José Toribio as Master of Ceremonies. Holy Innocents was treated to full house that night with clergy also in choir. The Schola of Holy Innocents sang Missa St. Crucis in G Major by Rheinberger.
N.B. Father Connolly was ordained to the priesthood on Saturday May 23 by Cardinal Dolan in St. Patrick’s Cathedral to serve as a diocesan priest. We extend our prayers and best wishes to Father Connolly.

Praise God! Father Connolly is an alumnus of Fordham Prep and the first successful vocation from there in many decades. I know he will spread his love for Christ and the Gospel; I hope he will continue to spread his love for the Church’s traditions. What a delight to see a newly minted Alter Christus celebrate the Mass of the Ages.
HE IS A TRUE BLESSING FROM GOD
