Relive the musical glory of 17th-Century México.

Music from New Spain. La Grande Bande, an ensemble of professional orchestral and vocal specialists in the Baroque period, conducted by founder Michael Asmus, will present music written by Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, the music director of the Basílica Catedral Metropolitana in Puebla, México from 1628 until 1664. This is a not to be missed opportunity to hear grand, indigenous, Mexican Sacred Music in Our Lady’s Shrine.

Join us as we celebrate the music of Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla, the Cathedral’s famed music director from 1628 to 1664. His music played a key role in the Cathedral’s consecration in 1649.

Pre-concert lecture at 6:45pm.

At the end of the Holy Mass, Bishop Battersby will impart the Papal Blessing with the attached plenary indulgence, obtainable by all the faithful who receive this Blessing under the usual conditions.

“Despite the rule that only one plenary indulgence can be obtained per day (cf. Enchiridion Indulgentiarum, IV ed., norm. 18, § 1), the faithful who have carried out an act of charity on behalf of the souls in Purgatory, if they receive Holy Communion a second time that day, can obtain the plenary indulgence twice on the same day, applicable only to the deceased” (Decree on the Granting of Indulgence during the Ordinary Jubilee Year 2025, III).
