Thirty Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Join Us for a Special Celebration
We will gather at St. Peter in Chains Cathedral on Sunday, November 24, 2024, on the Solemnity of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe to celebrate the legacy of Fr. Clarence Rivers.
Cardinal Wilton Gregory will be the principal Celebrant. All are invited to attend. There will be no mass at Mother of Christ that day.
Celebrating a Pioneer
Fr. Clarence-Rufus J. Rivers (1931-2004) was a pioneering priest, liturgist, artist, composer, author, presenter, and activist. Fr. Rivers was the first African-American ordained to serve the Cincinnati Archdiocese in 1954. He was associate pastor at St. Joseph Parish in Cincinnati, where he experimented with composing music for the new English-language liturgy out of his tradition of African-American sacred song. In doing so, Fr. Rivers “single-handedly started a revolution” in Catholic liturgical life and music, wherein composers felt free to compose music out of various folk traditions for Catholic liturgy. The result has profoundly shaped how Catholic liturgical music sounds in North America today.
You are not Alone
