On Sunday 15 February, Argentine priest Fr Javier Olivera Ravasi offered a Traditional Latin Mass on the streets of San Francisco outside a Planned Parenthood facility “to ask forgiveness and make reparation for the crime of abortion”.
The Mass was celebrated in the open air as part of what the priest described as an ongoing apostolate of public witness. According to remarks he later published on social media, there were no significant disturbances during the liturgy. “There were no incidents, apart from the occasional ‘brave soul’ who hurled insults from his vehicle, like Christ on Calvary,” he wrote. “It was an honour to be invited.”
