On Saturday, 14 September, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross and sixth anniversary of the implementation of Pope Benedict XVI's motu proprio "Summorum Pontificum", Sursum Corda will be visiting the Shrine of St. Joseph, located just north of downtown St. Louis. Founded in 1843 by the Jesuits, the Shrine is a beautiful example of Romanesque Revival architecture, and is the location of the only Vatican-authenticated miracle in the Midwest.
Although we have visited the Shrine in the past, this time we will be having a High Mass celebrated by Canon Ueda, with a choir formed from our own members. (Anyone who may be interested in joining the choir, or serving, is encouraged to contact the office at St. Francis de Sales for further information.) The Mass is open to the public, so feel free to invite your friends and family to join us.
We will meet at St. Francis de Sales at 9:30, so as to then carpool to the Shrine for Mass, which will be sung at 10:00. (Note the time change!) After Mass there will be time for prayer and touring the church, and then we will meet at 1:00 for a picnic at Tower Grove Park.
The Shrine is located at 1220 North 11th Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63106. For more information, please contact the Oratory.
All are welcome to attend. Hope to see you there!
