The renovation of St. Mary’s Church in Norwalk is completed. The first Mass to be celebrated in front of the new reredos of Our Lady’s Assumption into Heaven will be the 9:00 Mass this Saturday, a Missa Cantata in the Extraordinary Form. This Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Advent, all Masses will return to the upper church. The upper church has been closed for renovation since September.

The newly renovated church will be blessed by His Excellency Bishop Frank Caggiano on Sunday January 5.   Bishop Caggiano will be presiding at the 9:30 am Mass, which will be a High Mass before a Greater Prelate (coram episcopo). Afterwards everyone is invited to a reception in the church hall, with an opportunity to greet the bishop.

On Saturday, December 14 at 6:30 am Saint Gabriel Church, Stamford,  will celebrate an extraordinary form Mass: a  “Rorate Mass.”  This is a Votive Mass of Our Lady usually celebrated on Saturdays in Advent by candlelight in the early morning hours.

From the pastor Fr. La Pastina: “The Rorate Mass takes its name from the first word of its introit: “Rorate, caeli, desuper, et nubes pluant iustum,” or “Drop down dew, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness.” It is a Mass in honor of Mary in which the interplay of light and darkness convey the meaning of Advent.

“Historically, it has been celebrated early mornings in darkness. As the Mass proceeds and sunrise approaches, the church becomes progressively brighter. Because it is a votive Mass to Mary, blue or white vestments are worn instead of the seasonal purple.”
