High Solemn Mass in the Extraordinary Form: Feast of the Most Precious Blood

Following are some photos of the TLM at St Paul Church, South Philadelphia, for the Feast of the Most Precious Blood.  The celebrant was Father Dennis Carbonaro, pastor of Our Lady of Consolation Church in the Tacony section of Philadelphia.  The pastor of St Paul Church, Father Gerald P. Carey, served as Deacon.  Mr. Christopher Moriconi,  a 3rd year collegian St. Charles Seminary, served as Subdeacon.  Mr.Moriconi recently received the minor orders of Lector and Acolyte and is on parish assignment this summer at St. Madeline's Church, Ridley Park, PA.  This was his first TLM as Subdeacon.

Following the Mass, a reception was held in the rectory.  Many thanks to Mrs. Paula Miola and the ladies of the Ancillae Domini for planning and provisioning this event.  Sincere thanks also to Mr. Thomas Rudolph for    his generosity in both taking photos and working to ensure that all our visitors were both welcomed and well-fed.
