Pantheon (Sancta Maria ad Martyres): 1,400 years...

Sunday at the Pantheon was a big celebration: High Mass to celebrate the 1,400th anniversary of its consecration.

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 13 Solemn High Mass will be sung in the Extraordinary Form in the Pantheon at 2 p.m. as an extension of this same celebration.

Hope to see everybody there.

Also, at 1 pm Archbishop Burke will be at Rome's Dominican University for the annual Eucharistic procession.

And, see you at the Pantheon on Sunday, May 31st for the annual rose pedals raining from the oculus for Whit Sunday/Pentecost.

Yes, take a lot of great photos at the Tridentine Latin Mass.

Also always be on the lookout for those great photo ops of nuns, monks and friars in traditional habits!

They're awesome.
