Father Novajosky adds:
Back in October at St. Patrick Church we held our first 40 Hours Devotion. I know that my time here is limited, however 40 Hours was one of the highlights in my pastorate and I had planned to offer it in the Cathedral at some point during the year, so the upcoming change sped up the time table. We will offer it this upcoming Thursday, January 28 through Saturday, January 30 at St. Augustine Cathedral. It will start with a Votive Mass of the Holy Eucharist at 7pm on Thursday. The Mass ends with a procession, litany and exposition. Exposition will continue unbroken all day and night until after the Mass on Saturday morning. We need to have at least one person in the church at all times. If there are times that you intend to come and can confirm your presence, please go to the website and sign up online. You can also call the office. See the flyer for more information.
40 Hours will be part of what I am calling “X Dies.” X in Latin means 10 and “dies” means day, so 10 Days. Beginning on Friday, January 22, there will be 10 consecutive days of Sung Latin Masses, some just High (only priest celebrant) and others Solemn (priest with deacon and sub deacon). Please check out the flyer for more information and the website for updates about what will be offered. While all of them will have at least one cantor, some will have a small choir too.
The cathedral bulletin adds:
On behalf of the parish family, we thank Fr. Michael for his spiritual guidance & teaching us to expand our Faith. We thank him for his devotion to the parish, giving us every moment in the day, from dawn to dusk to pray and worship Our Lord.
We have been blessed to have a shepherd as devout and reverend as Fr. Michael.
Fr. Michael, We will miss you & keep you in our prayers as you begin your new assignment.
