Holy Week in Melbourne (part three)

We continue our series of photographs from the Latin Mass Community at Saint Aloysius' Church, Caulfield North (Archdiocese of Melbourne) of the rites of Holy Week. A complete set of photographs can be found here.

As mentioned in our earlier posts, this year, Holy Week was especially significant for the Melbourne Community, since the rites were celebrated by the Most Rev'd Basil Meeking DD, Bishop-emeritus of the Diocese of Christchurch (New Zealand) and well-known supporter of Catholic Tradition. These ceremonies at Caulfield also represent the first occasion since the mid-1960s that the Holy Week rites have been celebrated Pontifically in Australia according to the Extraordinary Form.

In this post, photographs of the Easter Vigil, Easter Day and Easter Monday.
