In a new SUNDAY MASS custom instituted by Pope Francis, the pallium, a white Anticipatory (Saturday) 5:15 p.m. woolen band worn across the shoulders embroidered with Sunday 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., Noon, & 5:00 p.m. six black crosses and traditionally beset with three gemmed DAILY MASS pins, will be conferred upon Archbishop Bernard Hebda by Monday - Friday 7:30 a.m. & 5:15 p.m. the Papal Nuncio to the United States, Archbishop Christophe Pierre. Saturday 8:00 a.m. Why is this significant? Some of the earliest liturgical books from Rome detail the use of this ecclesiastical garment, the earliest mention being SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION when Pope St. Marcus conferred the pallium on a bishop in the port city Monday - Friday 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. of Ostia in the 4th century. In ancient Rome, the pallium was a cloak that Saturday 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. replaced the toga, and was worn by high-ranking citizens and civil officials. EUCHARISTIC ADORATION Later, its use became more uniform, so that by the 6th century its use was Tuesday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. considered to be a long established custom.

For a time, some ancient frescoes OFFICE HOURS (RECTORY AT 239 SELBY AVENUE) show it to be much larger, more like a scarf that wrapped around the neck Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and fell to knee level on one side.

In a paper read before the Catholic Historical Society in June, 1867, Ireland said, “The 12:00 Midnight with Cathedral Choir Archbishop Bernard A.

Cozzens the original chapel was taken down to prevent its falling down. Father 12:00 Noon Mass with Organ and Cantor Ravoux’s addition survived. In 1856, adorned by modern siding, it [the addition] served as a convent chapel until 1864.” The distinction made Monday, December 26 between the destruction of the original chapel built by Galtier and the ad- Church Open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. dition built by Ravoux in 1847, contributes to the difficulty in tracing the Confessions at 4:00 p.m. | Mass at 5:15 p.m. history of the log chapel. 5
