This Friday, April 25, at 7pm, the Faith Formation Committee of St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington DC will show the DVD of John F. Kennedy’s funeral, which took place in the very same cathedral. DC-area folks reading this are most welcome to attend — it’s in the East Conference Room, lower level. I’ve already glossed over it, and it’s fascinating, not least for a perfect example of the Tridentine Mass as it was celebrated at the time. And then there is Cardinal Cushing’s Latin, enunciated in a flat Boston accent! If you do come, make sure to say hi!
