Classic

Reverence and awe were unmistakable. I felt drawn closer to the Holy Presence of God; I felt a sense of belonging to God’s City.

I jumped at the opportunity to attend a Vetus Ordo (Old Order) Mass with a good measure of saudade (nostalgia).

The rich and mellow tone of the main bell is a gift to the city’s soundscape. Today marks the day when it was first heard from the belfry 150 years ago.
