Traditional Mass for Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows in Little Italy

Posted by Stuart Chessman

Once again the Society of Saint Hugh of Cluny returns to Most Precious Blood Church in Little Italy, New York for our annual Italian heritage pilgrimage. Once again we will sponsor a sung mass with orchestral accompaniment  amid the noisy tumult of the San Gennaro Festival. This year however, in view of the dire straits of the Church, we will be celebrating the  mass of the Feast of the day: Our Lady of Sorrows. The mass takes place on Saturday, September 15 at 11 AM.   Hope to see many of you there!

Father Richard Gennaro Cipolla, shown here at last year’s Mass,  will return as the celebrant.
