Photos 2006 - Holy Week: Easter 9:30 Mass

EASTER - 9:30am LATIN NOVUS ORDO WITH ORCHESTRA

The 9:30am Mass featured "Messe - Op. 147" by Robert Schumann, composed in 1852. It was conducted by Fr. Eduard Perrone. In this first picture, Fr. Perrone is directing the men as they sung, "Cantico del Sol" by Lizst.






Associate Pastor, Fr. John Bustamante, incenses the pulpit just before the Gospel.




The church was pretty packed at the 9:30am Mass, with only sparse seating. Most people attended either the 8:00pm Easter Vigil, or the 9:30 Latin Novus ordo. Some attended both.
