Mass for a Conclave
Greetings All—
I hope that those of you who joined us for the Requiem Mass for Pope Francis will consider joining us once again this coming Tuesday, May 6 at 5:30pm for a votive Mass for the Election of a Pope or Bishop. As usual, I’m humbly requesting you let me know you’re coming so I can prepare the correct number of booklets.
