Ascension Vigil Videos

Last night the Brothers of the San Diego Oratory visited St. Anne's, and assisted at a sung vigil and benediction. It was very nice. I'd been to vespers before, but never an EF vespers. Fr. Gismondi was the principle celebrant assisted by Deacon Jose Zapeda and MC Carl. I got some nice video at the end of the litanies and Benediction. I've broken it up into 3 parts so youtube doesn't have a fit. Total is about 23 minutes. Nice reception afterwards. They are also interested in encouraging many parishes to do evening vigils. If you get in touch with them via their website, they'd be happy assist celebrants who wish to do vespers. They have materials for the congregants in both English and Spanish.
