Click on the above title link to view a Facebook video/photo showing a brief montage of the Solemn High Mass celebrated by Father Ananias on May 27, 2018, in commemoration of the 25th Anniversary of his Ordination to the Priesthood. The montage is set to Palestrina's Mass setting--the same music sung for the Solemn High Mass. ~~~ We offer a very special thank you to each of the following: * The Monks of St. Vincent Archabbey * Fr. James Power, Diocese of Erie * The Canons Regular of St. Thomas Aquinas * Adam Blai & Brother Placid (photography) * Fr. Keven Lutz & The Jubilee Museum, Columbus, Ohio (for lending their antique vestments for the occasion) * Joseph Janidlo ~~~ The Mass vestments from the Jubilee Museum were a gift from the Emperor of Mexico to the Shrine of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, circa 20th century. (This is why the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe appears on the back of the chasuble) They were graciously lent to us on this special occasion. The vestments now are on permanent display at the Jubilee Museum in Columbus Ohio. https://jubileemuseum.org/

Thankfully the Thank You notes are seemingly at an end... While notes of Congratulations and gifts/benefactions for vestments continue to trickle in, it seems that the overwhelming task of writing and sending hundreds of Thank You notes is really not insurmountable after all. Thanking all those who wrote, called or prayed for me on the occasion of my Jubilee was a daunting task and I sincerely hope that no one has been overlooked for I am deeply grateful to each of you. I must trust that all know my gratitude beyond my power to express it. Benedictions, Father Ananias, O.S.B. --Parish Bulletin, July 22, 2018
