SOLEMN HIGH MASS

The video is here below:

I cannot tell you when the last Solemn High Mass, with deacon and subdeacon, was celebrated on Guam. It was definitely in the 1960s, as the Novus Ordo came into effect in early 1970. But, even before that, the traditional Mass was being modified little by little, and many traditional observances fell to the wayside, and I suspect the Solemn High Mass was one of them.

So this Solemn High Mass celebrated in 2012 by Canon Jean Marie Moreau (Institute of Christ the King), with Fr Eric Forbes, OFM Cap as deacon and Mr. Joseph Capulong as subdeacon, was the first on Guam in 42 years or more.

We have not had another Solemn High Mass since then, but it is on our list of hoped-for Masses.

WELCOME CANON MOREAU

Thanks to the generosity of one of our community members, Canon Jean Marie Moreau of the Institute of Christ the King is able to return to Guam for a visit.

He will be arriving Monday, April 15 at 3:45PM from Tokyo.  If anyone would like to be at the airport to greet him with me, maybe with a floral lei, that would be very welcome and appreciated!  You can just meet me at the airport.  I'll be the one in the brown habit!

Our schedule of Masses with Canon Moreau is as follows :

MONDAY, April 15	630PM Mass
TUESDAY, April 16	6PM Mass
THURSDAY, April 18	7PM Mass
FRIDAY, April 19	6PM Missa Cantata
THURSDAY, April 25	6PM Mass – Adoration – Benediction

CLASSES WITH FATHER MOREAU

Father Jean Marie Moreau, of the Institute of Christ the King, gave three classes on the Holy Mass to our community from February 2-4.  In one class, he taught us a method of hearing Mass as a union with Christ in His Passion.
