Christus Resurréxit! Happy Feast of St. Mark (Saturday April 25 – the last few minutes of it), which is also known as Major Rogation Day, a Feast Day instituted by St. Gregory the Great as penance and supplication to end a plague that affected parts of Italy in the 6th century. There are also minor Rogation Days on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday prior to Ascension Thursday. These feasts are only offered in the Extraordinary Form calendar.

- Vatican questions Bishops on the Latin Mass: Rorate Caeli has learned that the Congregation of Doctrine and Faith is surveying each Bishop and asking how Summorum Pontificum is being applied in their diocese. As you may recall Pope Benedict XVI issued Summorum Pontificum to provide greater access to the Latin Mass. Many of the Latin Masses in the Diocese of Charlotte are a direct result of that degree.
