Closing mass at St. Bonaventure

The closing mass at St. Bonaventure Catholic Church in Auburn Township was part funeral and part celebration for most of the 200 or so gathered Sunday morning.

For Rev. David Betts and Rev. Joseph J. Manarchuck, it was heavy duty ritual as a celebration of Eucharistic communion gave way to a closing ritual procession to the church’s baptismal font, bell tower, confessionals, stations of the cross, votive candles, altar of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Ambo, the Tabernacle and finally to the Altar.
