Despite the horrid weather, and despite the Packers playing Atlanta on Monday Night Football (the Packers won), we still had quite a good attendance.
These happy people were able to fulfill their Mass Obligation with a Pontifical Mass at the Throne.

How excellent!
Oh my (sigh) that is breathtaking. What is the significance of the short capes that 2 of the Altar Boys are wearing please?
Absolutely lovely, thank you Father.
Those are vimpae (singular vimpa). They are used so that the altar servers do not touch the mitre or crozier.
Would have liked to come if it was not so difficult for me to get there.
@JohnMa–
Thank you :)
Children DO pay attention as well. My 7 year old daughter asked why the Bishop was wearing white shoes when all of the others were wearing black. My wife noticed this as well.
I think I got it right when I explained that this was a privilege of a Bishop or higher prelate only during pontifical Masses in the color of the day.
Someone let me know if there is more to it that this.
I certainly hope we get to see more pictures.
What a beautiful site! P. H. Mass
Unfortunately, I am on the other side of Madison and the side street to get out was iced over. After watching 3 accidents at 6pm I sadly stayed home. I was there in spirit and cannot wait until the next Mass! God love Bishop Morlino. It is a blessing to be under his care here in the Madison Diocese!
Father,
Your set of new vestments added to the beauty of an already august event.
