 | In the entrance procession, the Knights of Columbus form an honor guard for the presider, Cardinal George.
|
 | In
procession, the choir is directed and led by Marty Bramlette. The choir
sings verses of Psalm 107 in Psalm Tone 8, from the hymnbook. The
people sing Alleuia, in response to each verse of the Psalm.

 | Here is Cardinal George, processing through the congregation, on August 26, 2001. It is the beginning of the liturgy.
|
 | After
the Gospel, Cardinal George walks down to the front of the
congregation, so that he could be heard easily. Most of the people are
seated in the tent; some are standing along the edge.
|
|
[Aug. 21, 2001] In a pastoral visit,
Cardinal George comes to celebrate the Eucharist, outside, at the San
Rocco Oratory. There are many more photos online, on this very site.
 | As
the entrance procession concludes, the people sing "Ad Multos Annos"
("For many years may you live!") to Cardinal George. This is the first
of two songs in acclamation of his coming.

 | A
replica of the Trevi Fountain, in Rome, is a focus of the San Rocco
Festa. "Three coins in the Fountain," as you remember. Above, two of the
festa participants wear miters.
|
 | Kids find the Trevi Fountain fascinating.
|
 | After
Mass, Cardinal George visited the church building of the oratory and
greeted the people under a large tent in front. Above, August Anzelmo,
