Opening Mass at Catholic University of America to Feature 15th Century Chalice | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Thursday's opening school year Mass at the Catholic University of America will feature a centuries-old artifact. The annual Mass of the Holy Spirit will include a chalice from the 15th century. The silver-gilt artifact is a rare survivor of the Protestant Reformation. Thursday marks one of the first times in centuries that the chalice will be used in a liturgy. Catholic University's Chaplain, Fr. Aquinas Guilbeau, joins to tell us about the history of this chalice and how the opportunity came about for it to be used at the Mass. Fr. Aquinas discusses where the chalice is headed after the Mass on Thursday. The Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Michael Burbidge from the Diocese of Arlington in Virginia. Fr. Aquinas shares whether it is unusual for a Mass to include such a rare artifact. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
