Solemn Mass for Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe

On Tuesday December 12 at 7:00 PM the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny will be sponsoring a Solemn High Mass for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, 414 East 14th Street New York.

The music will be extraordinary: an orchestral mass and and selections from “Matins for the Virgin of Guadalupe” by Ignacio de Jerusalem, an 18th century composer from Lecce, Italy and Cadiz. He was active since the 1740’s in Mexico City, where he was chapel master at the cathedral. This will be a rare opportunity to hear this unique music from  Spanish Mexico, a blend of European and local traditions! James Wetzel will direct and Charles Weaver will be among the performers. We will provide further details closer to the time of the feast day.

After the Mass all are invited to a wine and cheese reception in the parish center.

This mass is made possible in part by the generosity of the late Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro, and will be offered for the repose of his soul.
