Saturday, September 14th — Members of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of St. George celebrated Solemn High Mass for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at the Shrine Church of the Most Precious Blood in Little Italy, New York. The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was sung by Celebrant and Homilist Fr. Richard G. Cipolla, Knight Chaplain of Ecclesiastical Grace. Fr. Tim Iannacone was the Deacon and Fr. Michaels was the subdeacon. The sacred ministers were dutifully assisted by several servers and the Schola St. Hugh under the direction of David J. Hughes.
Led by our esteemed Delegate HE Cav. John M. Viola, Cavalieri John Napoli, Anthony Schembri, Andrew Portelli, and Dame Catherine Stevenson and Jeanne Abate Allen were in attendance.
Thank you Fr. Graebe, Pastor of Most Precious Blood and the Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, and members of the parish family for your warmth and hospitality. God bless the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny, especially Stuart and Jill Chessman, for sponsoring the Mass and their tireless efforts to promote the Tridentine Mass. As always, it was a great joy to celebrate our faith together.
