Requiem Mass to Honor Pope Benedict - Usus Antiquior

A potluck will follow mass in the Parish Gym. Please bring a dish to pass. The Usus Antiquior community of the Albany Diocese will join us at Holy Family to offer prayers for Pope Benedict XVI in gratitude for all he did to promote the sacred liturgy. The title of the Mass comes from the words of the Introit (opening antiphon) Requiem æternam dona eis Domine. Eternal rest grant unto him/her, O Lord. Requiem Masses are offered for the repose of the soul of the deceased.
