Padre Pio Mass & Procession to New Worship Space at Our Lady of the Rosary

 

Padre Pio Mass & Procession to New Worship Space at Our Lady of the Rosary

In this blog I will also be sharing the Italian Catholic traditions at my church. Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Church in San Diego's Little Italy is designated an Italian National Parish and a historic landmark and has many Italian saints and Madonna societies and many Italian traditions even today. Here is the parish's January Padre Pio Mass (it is held monthly) and the procession to and blessing of the Upper Hall where Masses are being held temporarily while the beautiful 100-year-old main sanctuary is under restoration. This is a very long video (2 hours) so you can use the fast forward and rewind buttons to skip to parts you like. The procession starts at 1:35:48.

The whole Mass was in Italian! Viva! Viva Madonna del Lume!
