A very worthy celebration. And Penny is an organist, wow! Honorable mention to the cerimoniere (mc) and to the serving crew. Nice job, guys! Union of prayers from the Holy City and I'll tell everybody about this Mass.
Simply beautiful.
I often try to remember that vast number of Holy Angels that occupy the Sanctuary when we get to the Offertory.
The TLM, with all of it's beauty and majesty makes it so much easier to comprehend that both heaven and earth are coming together in the Mass.
It becomes possible to enter communion with the entire mystical body - visible and invisible.
GORGEOUS photos.
North Carolina?!
THE North Carolina?
Praise God. Perhaps the liturgical desert of the American South is changing.

I found your blog on Damien Thompson's blog. I live in England and will pray for you at my bible group this evening. I have also sent your blog details to several of my friends.
I pray that you will get your wish to be a priest, may Our Lady watch over you.
Thanks for sharing these photos Phil. We miss you at St. Benedict's. Keeping you in our evening prayers.
