They do however fully embrace the Rite of Adoration, with all of the sanctuary appoinments, vestments of the presider, as well as chanting both the "O Saluratis" and "Tantum Ergo", in Latin, to open and close the event respectfully. They also do have a Gospel reading and homily, as well as extended times for silent Adoration. <br /><br />They often also weave in the occasional more traditional song(s), relative to the Liturgical Season/ Feast, amongst the contemporary music.<br /><br />The event has been tremendously well-attended at all its locations, with a broad mix of attendees as the Archbishop articulated. At this particular Arise last weekend, the Confession line literally wrapped around the entire church (confessionals were set up outside one side entrance and the line ended at the other end, encircling the entire nave!)<br /><br />In terms of any concern for orthodoxy, both Archbishop Listecki and Bishop Hying have participated in Arise events and publically support them. These events have been hosted at a variety of locations, including both Milwaukee basilicas. Per the staff, Fr. Johnny Burns who was mentioned in the article and is also the associate at Christ the King in Wauwatosa, is a graduate of the Pontifical College of the Holy Cross in Rome (Opus Dei run) and is rarely seen without a cassock on. His brother, Deacon Patrick Burns will be ordained a priest in June. Fr. Luke Strand is well-known in the state as vocations director for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and his work with youth and evangelization in Milwaukee and Green Bay. His brother Fr. Jacob Strand is a graduate of the Angelicum in Rome, and his older brother Vincent is completing the extensive studies of a Jesuit seminarian in pursuit of ordination as well. The overwhelming majority of the rest of the committee are professional youth ministers, DREs, Catholic school teachers, and music ministers, all of whom are extremely passionate about the orthodox Faith.JoshDnoreply@blogger.com
