What is it like to stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” with Pope Francis during the celebration of the Mass?

Fr. Michael Baggot told CNA that for him, “it was an opportunity to live this common priesthood, to share in the one priesthood of Christ with the Vicar of Christ and with so many of my brother priests from around the world.”

Baggot, who will mark his first anniversary as a priest on December 16, first concelebrated at a papal Mass last year on Holy Thursday – it was the Chrism Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica.
