Press Release

There will be a sung Latin Mass in the ordinary form for the feast of the Presentation of Our Lord at St. Peter Catholic Church at 6:30 p.m. Feb. 2. Rob Pacillo’s Harmonia Schola will provide the music: Missa Ave Maris Stella by Josquin des Prez (1450-1521), who is considered to be one of the most important composers of the Renaissance.

Traditionally, lit candles are held by the congregation at the beginning of this Mass, recalling the elderly Simeon’s recognition of Jesus as “a light to lighten the people.” Immediately following the Mass, refreshments will be served in the school cafeteria.

St. Peter’s is located at 620 Center St. Lewiston. Both the church and cafeteria are handicap accessible. All are welcome to attend.
