Rock Mass on the first Sunday of the month
Rock Mass March 3, 2024
Jesus said to them, “But, whom do you say that I am?”
Then Simon Peter answered, and said,
“You are the Christ; the Son of the living God.”
And
Jesus answered, and said to him,
“Blessed are you, Simon, the son of
Jonah.
For flesh and blood has not revealed it to you,
but my Father who
is in Heaven."
(Matthew 16:15-17)
Peace, Love and Light!

The
inspiration for creating "Rock Mass" came from the Rock Mass at All
Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena California back in the early 1970’s.
On the first Friday night of each month All Saints held a Rock Mass
which was a mix of traditional Episcopalian Mass and rock concert. A
live band would play popular rock music which couldn’t necessarily be
called “Christian” but contained spiritual phrases and references to God
or Jesus. During the 1960’s and early 1970’s there was an explosion of
these songs coming out of the "secular" music industry way before there
was “Contemporary Christian Music”, in a way, it could be called "The
Gospel According To Billboard's Top 10".
