As we all know, there is something always going on at Holy Innocents (NYC) – the very active and vibrant parish that rarely sleeps!

This past Saturday, December 6th, 2015, as part (and conclusion) of the monthly first Friday all night vigil (with devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary), the parish had its first Rorate Mass in honor of Our Lady in candlelight (no electric lights were used at all).

The Mass was a Solemn Mass at 5 AM with beautiful Gregorian Chant and the help of a good number of servers for five in the morning! Additionally, and as always, the faithful and committed parishioners responded very positively. There were 95 people in attendance for this very beautiful traditional Mass – again, at five in the morning!

n.b. For residents of Connecticut and Westchester: You will have a chance to attend a Rorate Mass on December 19 at St. Mary Church, Greenwich at 6:30 am.
