Further Information:
At our 5:00 p.m.Latin Mass today the Litania magna—The Great Litany—will be chanted as part of the entrance rite. This austere beginning to Mass emphasizes the solemnity of the Lenten Season. Latin Mass provides a contemplative alternative to the more active styles of worship which have been emphasized in the Episcopal Church in recent decades, and also continues a little-known strand of Anglican tradition. It provides a truly Anglican via media, unique in the Bay Area, with the readings, sermon, and intercessions in English, while all the other prayers and the traditional psalm and scripture verses (the “minor propers”) are sung in Latin.
A reception follows.
