At our 9am Mass last week at the Basilica of St. Michael the Archangel Archbishop Joseph Augustine Di Noia, O.P., Adjunct Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Titular Archbishop of Oregon City, said Mass. He was responsible for resolving our long-delayed application in Rome to designate our church as a minor Basilica. This was official on December 28, 2011.
So he graciously visited to help us celebrate 10 years as a minor Basilica. With him are pictured Very Reverend Joseph Callipare, Rector of the Basilica. Cindy and I were Lectors for the Mass.
And to top it off the Mass intention was for my Dad who passed in January.
