Last evening, a Solemn Requiem Mass was celebrated at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament in New York City. The Mass was celebrated for the repose of the soul of Alexander Klucik, tragically killed in an accident in 2010 at the age of 19. The Mass featured Mozart’s Requiem and chant, performed by the Higher Word orchestra, choir and soloists. Some 600 people filled one of the most beautiful churches in Manhattan. I applaud the organizers for making possible such a beautiful and spiritual evening!
