Colin, a seminarian who’s working in Rolla this summer, and I attended Mass at the Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis yesterday. The Mass was on the occasion of the ordination to the priesthood of two deacons of the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest.

His Grace, the Most Reverend Archbishop Burke celebrated the Mass according to the Missal of 1962. I’m very glad I had a chance to see the older Rite of Ordination in practice; it was very beautiful.

I was even fortunate enough to be far enough back in the procession that I got to sit with a few other seminarians in the choir seats in the sanctuary (after all the priests and deacons, that is).

Saint Louis Catholic has pictures.

Update: Kansas City Catholic has more pictures.
