On Aug. 5, Cardinal Burke and Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco will celebrate the Mass of the Americas as a solemn pontifical Mass in the traditional Latin rite at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin as part of Project Guadalupe 2031, an effort by the Benedict XVI Institute to foster greater devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe ahead of the 500th anniversary of her appearance to St. Juan Diego.
The Mass was composed by Frank La Rocca, composer-in-residence of the Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship, which was founded by Archbishop Cordileone.
This major liturgical event will be broadcast by EWTN.
