Mass at Holy Innocents Church, New York, for Epiphany


Yesterday, Thursday, January 6, the feast of the Epiphany was celebrated with appropriate splendor in New York. It is a tragedy and a scandal that this feast – the twelfth day of Christmas – has been virtually abolished in the Novus Ordo church in this country. For it is the greatest significance to the Eastern liturgies and in many countries and regions of Western Europe as well. Such as the city of Cologne, which contains the relics of the three kings in Nicholas of Verdun’s magnificent shrine.
Thanks, however, to the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart the city of New York celebrated this feast with proper solemnity on the correct date. The celebrant was Fr. Richard Cipolla. I am looking for names of the other two clergy as well as that of the choir master responsible for the magnificent music.
