Advent Rorate Liturgy

St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception will host a “Rorate Mass” on Thursday, December 20, at 7:30 pm. A “Rorate Mass” is an old German custom of celebrating Mass by candlelight, accompanied by traditional Gregorian chants in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary (including the chant “Rorate Caeli”: “Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the earth bud forth a Savior.”Isaiah 45:8).  If you need a moment to slow down and prepare your heart for the coming of Christ please join us to listen, pray, and experience an old tradition made new!
