Who Wants to See President Kennedy’s Funeral?
April 21, 2008
This Friday, April 25, at 7pm, the Faith Formation Committee of St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Washington DC will show the DVD of John F. Kennedy’s funeral, which took place in the very same cathedral. DC-area folks reading this are most welcome to attend — it’s in the East Conference Room, lower level. I’ve already glossed over it, and it’s fascinating, not least for a perfect example of the Tridentine Mass as it was celebrated at the time. And then there is Cardinal Cushing’s Latin, enunciated in a flat Boston accent! If you do come, make sure to say hi!

THen Bishop Hannan who gave what I guess one could call the eulogy at that funeral is still alive by the way and in good health considering. THe now Retired Archbihop Hannan 94 but was present when the Pope Addressed the Bishops last week
