As previously reported on BFA<\/a>, Saint Ann’s Church and Shrine located at 651 Broadway on the corner of Emslie Street, hosted a special Requiem High Mass on Saturday, September 13th for all the deceased who belonged to or served and helped the parish and school since the beginning 150 years ago. This liturgy was celebrated according to the Tridentine Missal, and the service was entirely in Latin and celebrated on the high altar. It was considered the most appropriate way to honor those who have gone to their reward, since it would be the form of the Mass they would most recognize.<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank St. Ann’s parishioners Dave Hirschbine and Adam Hudymiak, I couldn’t have “made this happen” without their help. Many hours of hard work went into preparing the church, especially the sanctuary for this event. The free standing altar had to be moved, the (very heavy!) altar rails restored to the sanctuary, and the hand carved altars and pulpit decorated. The altar rail coverings were in excellent condition though very old, and the decorated red hanging was embroidered with a German verse from the Gospels: “Kommet her zu mir alle, die ihr m\u00fchselig und beladen seid, so will ich euch erquicken,” or “Come to me all who are burdened and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).<\/p>\n

Those attending were amazed that these and the other items like the Communion patens and traditional vestments were not thrown out but especially preserved! The parish was very happy to welcome Fr. Secondo Casarotto, CS,\u00a0of Saint Anthony’s Church, who celebrates the Latin Mass weekly for his congregation behind City Hall. Joining him were Fr. Roy Herberger, pastor of Saint Ann’s who preached, and former pastor Fr. Bill Frankhauser, SJ.<\/p>\n

It was a wonderful occasion not only to see the church again in its former look but to remember the German (and Polish) immigrants and their descendants who built and maintained Saint Ann’s and the surrounding Broadway Fillmore neighborhood for future generations. It was an inspiration to continue revitalization in the area, especially the preservation and use of the historical spiritual\u00a0landmarks in the East Side.<\/p>\n

May they rest in peace!<\/p>\n
