Only the Redempt...

I received this email today and am only too happy to post it! On Sunday, September 20th, the newly-Catholic All Saints Sisters of the Poor will be attending High Mass at St. Alphonsus Church in Baltimore . The Gregorian Society of Baltimore will host a light reception following Mass, so the faithful can meet the Sisters. The Mass is offered at 11:30 AM. The Church is on the corner of Park Avenue and Saratoga Street in Baltimore City--one block southwest of the Basilica of the Assumption. The Sisters’ website is: http://www.asspconvent.org/index.htm I hope you can make it! The St. Alphonsus polyphonic choir will sing the Mass. I hope the Church is filled for this occasion!
