All Souls' at St John Cantius

As November 2 falls on the Sunday this year, Saint John Cantius Church in Chicago will offer Masses on two different days to remember the faithful departed. On Sunday Latin Mass will be offered in the Ordinary Form and on Monday Pontifical Latin High Mass will be offered in the Extraordinary Form with Mozart's setting of the Requiem. Each year, the annual Mozart Requiem draws Catholics and non-Catholics alike to experience the rich heritage of the Catholic church's liturgical ceremonies and sacred music. Indeed this year, the Archdiocese of Chicago's Young Adult Ministry website has made the Pontifical High Mass a featured event for young adults. Their website says: Nothing could more aptly be called 'epic'.SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2The Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed (Ordinary Form)11:00 am — Latin High Mass in the Ordinary FormCelebrant and Homilist - Rev.
