A full congregation at Old St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, was treated to a beautiful Solemn Vespers with Seven Copes for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on Thursday evening. (Nearby, the San Gennaro Festival was in full swing.) Very Reverend Enrique Salvo was the celebrant, assisted by six priests. Assisting in choir was the Most Rev. Pierre-André Dumas, Bishop of Anse-à-Veau and Miragoâne, numerous clergy and members of the Order of Malta and the Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusalem. The Basilica Schola Cantorum and Chamber Orchestra, under the direction of Jared Lamenzo, performed the sumptious Solemn Vespers K 339 of Mozart and other pieces by Mozart, Bellini and Cherubini. Our Society was a sponsor of this ceremony.
