The Salem Sanctuary: Lent 2010

Please notice the silver candlesticks and Altar Cross, and the unbleached beeswax candles.  All of our candles are mady by the Lux Candle Company of Ipswich, South Dakota: http://www.luxcandlecompany.com/

After over two years of catechesis and gradual implementation, our parish now celebrates the Liturgy of the Eucharist ad orientem - in solidarity with the liturgical reforms promoted by our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XVI.   The 1970’s ”People’s Altar” (made from parts of the original Communion Rail) is in safe storage, and a much smaller altar for Masses “versus populum” has been made (to accomodate elderly priests who cannot make the three steps to the altar, etc.).
