On Thursday, December 5, at 6:00 PM, the Society of St. Hugh of Cluny will be sponsoring a Solemn High Mass – with orchestral music – at the church of the Most Holy Redeemer at 173 E 3rd St, New York. The Mass will be on the eve of the Feast of St Nicholas. The celebrant will be the pastor of Most Holy Redeemer, Fr. William Elder. Mr. James Wetzel will direct the music, which will include Joseph Haydn’s Nikolaimesse (“Nicholas Mass” – likely first performed on St Nicholas’ day, December 6, 1772). The mass will be followed by a reception with seasonal refreshments. It will be a festive occasion!
