Intoning the Veni Creator Spiritus at Midnight of the New Year
ONLY LATIN MASS IN GEORGIA FOR THE CIRCUMCISM THIS FRIDAY NIGHT
The only known midnight mass (and in fact any Latin Mass in our state) and opportunity to gain two plenary indulgences on January the 1st (Feast of the Circumcision of Our Lord) in the State of Georgia will be at the parish of St Francis de Sales in Mableton. Prior to the midnight mass this Friday evening, there will be a Holy Hour, confessions, and benediction followed by the public singing of the Te Deum. This starts at 11:00 pm. Immediately following the Te Deum there will be a HIGH Mass at Midnight. After the Mass there will be the public singing of the Veni Creator Spiritus. The public recitation of the Te Deum before midnight gains a plenary indulgence, AND the public recitation of the Veni Creator Spiritus after midnight carries another plenary indulgence. They both carry the usual conditions so you can receive confession and communion all in the same evening. A rare opportunity to gain two plenary indulgences on one trip to church. Also, there will be a Low Mass on the Feast Day at 9:00 am. Confessions are heard before all masses. The Veni Creator Spiritus will be recited and or sung at both of the masses to gain the indulgence
