Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. 1 John 4:7
St. John Henry Newman is to be declared a Doctor of the Church on 1NOV2025, All Saints Day.

The Rorate Mass

Thanks be to God, at Saint John Henry Newman quasi-parish, in Victoria, BC, we are blessed to have three Rorate Masses in Advent, on Saturdays.

Rorate Masses are Votive Masses said by candlelight to honor the Virgin Mary during Advent. The Rorate Mass got its proper name from the first line of the Introit: Rorate caeli désuper et nubes pluant justum (Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness.)
