Three members of Una Voce San Bernardino left San Bernardino at 11 PM Friday (Dec 18) and headed up to St. Jarlath’s Catholic Church in Oakland, CA for the Solemn Ordination of the then-future Father Jose Zepada, FSSP on Dec 19. This Ordination and Missa Pontificalis was celebrated by His Excellency, The Most Reverend Salvatore Joseph Cordileone, bishop of Oakland. It is only on these rare occasions when there is a concelebration in the old rite. The newly ordained priest concelebrates with the bishop.

The trip was well worth the 6.5 hour drive both ways. We made it back safely in San Bernardino, on the evening after the ceremony.

Comments from those who assisted at this Solemn Pontifical Mass:

To: Readers of the Una Voce San Bernardino website;

The Solemn Pontifical Mass celebrated by His Excellency the Most Reverend Salvatore Joseph Cordileone, Bishop of Oakland, CA , with Ordination to The Sacred Priesthood for Rev. Jose Manuel Zepada  Hernandez at St. Jarlath Church in Oakland, CA was the most beautiful and spiritually uplifting celebration of the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass I have ever experienced. It caught up all of my senses to heaven in true worship of our Lord. Like David once I smelled the incense, “Let my prayer be counted as incense before you …” (David, RSV-CE of the Holy Bible, Psalm 140:2) was the prayer of my heart. The sound of Gregorian chant with polyphonic portions removed every thought from my mind except the worship of our Lord. The beautiful Latin being chanted by the cantor, and the choir, and by His Excellency Bishop Cordileone reminded me of the royal majesty of Jesus Christ our King. As I knelt down and felt my knees touch  the ground to receive the body of Christ, I was reminded that I am called to spend my life in humble prayer remembering that Christ was crucified for me, and for you, and for all of humanity. The taste of the Eucharist reminded me to be grateful for the honor to receive Christ in the holy Eucharist and for the gift of His holy Church.

To Father Mark Lander:

On behalf of our relatively small, yet active membership of Una Voce San Bernardino, we would like to thank you for your humble service to the Latin Mass Community there in Adelanto. We were not aware that it was already the one year anniversary of its existence, and were pleasantly surprised to find this out when two of us came down, or should we say, up to Christ the Good Shepherd on Sept 13. I was certainly edified by the Sacred Ceremonies that day, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form, as well as the excellent sermon which you gave us on the state of modern “scholarship” which seeks to make a distinction between the “Christ of Faith” and the “Christ of History”, as if they were not in fact one in the same person. Perhaps one day, we may have the pleasure of assisting at a Missa Cantata there, sung by you.

May God continue to bless your Ministry of the Sacred Rites in both forms of Holy Mass.

Richard Friend and Mike Parish (the principle organizers of this Missa Cantata on August 26, 2009), with the help of the Una Voce San Bernardino President, Laurence Gonzaga (who handled promotion and filming), organized the first Mass in the Extraordinary form at St. James the Less in Perris, CA, in probably over 35 years.

Special thanks to the Pastor of St. James, Father Ed Gomez. Also, special thanks of course to the priest-celebrant, Father Carl Gismondi, FSSP, M.A., S.T.L., pastor of St. Ann Catholic Church, a personal parish for the EF Form of the Roman Rite in San Diego, CA. His assistant pastor, Father Federico Masutti, FSSP, assisted in hearing confessions before and during the Mass. Also, the FSSP seminarian assigned to their parish assisted in choir.
