Paulist Fr. Steven Petroff’s “First Mass”

August 10, 2017

On Sunday, May 21, Paulist Fr. Steven Petroff celebrated his Mass of Thanksgiving or “First Mass” at our mother church, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle in New York City.  He had been ordained a priest the previous day.

This new video provides highlights from that special liturgy, including part of the homily offered by Paulist Fr. Mark-David Janus, president of Paulist Press:
