CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Latin Mass Community and St. Ann Parish in Charlotte celebrated the feast of Pentecost May 20 with a Solemn High Latin Mass.
Father Jason Barone, chaplain of Charlotte Catholic High School, offered the Mass and was assisted by St. Ann pastor’s Father Timothy Reid as deacon, and Charlotte seminarian Britt Taylor as subdeacon.
During Mass, Father Reid offered a sermon on the Holy Spirit and then led the faithful in singing “Veni Creator Spiritus” (“Come Holy Spirit”), which when prayed on Pentecost obtains a plenary indulgence.
