Rose in Dunn, NC
The parish of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Dunn, NC the pastor Father Paul Parkerson used rose vestments, as is entirely natural, on Gaudete Sunday.
So I was alerted by a reader.

Greetings!
I attended Mass at St. Clement of Rome, Des Peres, MO, and the priest wore rose vestments. As opposed to a Mass I heard of elsewhere that, despite of the availability of rose vestments, the priest wore purple.
Comment by Bro. AJK — 15 December 2008 @ 10:51 amThe parish of St. Mary’s in Norwalk, CT had a lovely solemn set in a decidely non-pink Rose http://hughofcluny.blogspot.com/2008/12/advent-colors.html

Here is a link to a picture with better light. Unfortunately I don’t think I can find a shot of the detail, but it was quite nice.

Alli, do I spot the bottom of a biretta in that picture, or do my eyes play hopeful tricks?

Blue vestments worn at Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, Winchester, Ca at the evening Mass last night. I understand that special permission is needed from the bishop to wear this color. [Which I am not sure he can give.]

And, I suspect, many other places as well…

The celebrant at my seminary also wore Rose for Gaudete Sunday!
Comment by keith — 15 December 2008 @ 8:41 pm..and the inimitable Philip Johnson is serving the Mass in the photo for this post.
God bless him!
Comment by mcitl — 15 December 2008 @ 10:10 pmyour eyes do not play tricks Tyler, that is indeed a biretta. Fr Parkerson not only says a beautifully holy Mass but he has all the vestments and priestly garb to boot. I know him personally and drive 2 hours to go to Mass there when I am able.
Comment by Gretchen — 16 December 2008 @ 10:51 amAh! how very wonderful. I attend TLM every Sunday in Flensburg, Mn and Fr.A Hoppe has the beautiful rose vestments not only for Gaudete Sunday, but also Lateare Sunday as well. Fr Hoppe is 88yrs in Feb, he also wears a biretta at every Mass, drives his car even in this last snowstorm we had. Our traveling time is 45 min, but we love the Gregorian Rite,and Fr loves it also.
