The Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary was marked today with a sung Mass in the traditional rite at Casa San Clemente, the Italian headquarters of the Institute of the Good Shepherd in Rome.
The Missa Cantata was celebrated by Don Giorgio Lenzi, Procurator General of the Institute. Born in Sardinia in 1984 and ordained in Bordeaux in 2012, Fr Lenzi previously served as master of ceremonies at the Institute’s seminary in Courtalain, France. He later worked in the archives of Cardinal Darío Castrillón Hoyos until the cardinal’s death in 2018, and edited an anthology of his writings. Today, alongside his role representing the Institute to the Holy See, he teaches liturgical history and practice to seminarians.
