In Circumcisione Domini: Solemn High Mass in Montmirail, France

I had the joy through the kindness of our French friend Dom Hugues Beaugrand, of the Institute of the Good Shepherd, and Philip Gerard Johnson, seminarian of the Diocese of Raleigh, North Carolina, and blogger at In Caritate Non Ficta, to celebrate Solemn High Mass at Montmirail, France on January 1, 2012, on the occasion of the Feast of the Circumcision of the Lord.
