Laetare Sunday


(click pics to enlarge)

For those of you who like to collect pictures of rose vestments, here is my brand new chasuble worn today. Made by the industrious and creative Mrs Wersinger--a local Catholic seamstress. These pics were taken after our 9:00 Mass at Our Lady of the Rosary. PS: That's our oldest son Benedict on the right.

Is she making your new soutane with purple piping too, Monsignor? :)

Sarah said...

Ooh nice. Is the gray orphrey meant to keep it a little penitential? A+ for the snazzy alb too.

Anneg said...

Me, too. Is the orphrey grey or purple?
Do you wear a cassock underneath?

Fr Longenecker said...

On Sundays I wear the cassock beneath the alb. On weekdays I wear a simpler cassock alb. The gray orphrey helps to keep the rose vestment sober.

Fr Longenecker said...

Unfortunately there was not enough fabric even to make a dalmatic...

Very nice! Its clear that Mantilla has some stiff competition on this side of the pond. Too, looks like you have a fine cadre of Altar Boys.

Looking sharp, Fr. Thanks for commissioning beautiful new works of art for the liturgy.
