122816 latin massesjpgCHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Diocese celebrated its first Midnight Latin Masses in more than 50 years on Christmas night.
A near record Latin Mass crowd of 390 faithful attended the High Mass at St. Ann parish offered by pastor Father Timothy Reid. He also enshrined the newly donated statue of the Infant of Prague right before Mass.
The music as custom featured Gregorian chant offered by the young ladies Cantate Domino Latin Choir and the St. Ann Latin Schola.
After Mass a light reception of hot coco, hot cider, and cookies was sponsored by the Kennedy, Walsh, Blake, and Lauer families.
The celebration of Midnight Latin Mass was not limited to St. Ann's, as St. Michael Church in Gastonia also marked its first Midnight Latin Mass in recent time, with pastor Father Matthew Buettner offering a Solemn High Mass.
