• A vigil Mass on December 23 AND any Mass on December 25
• A morning Mass on December 24 AND a vigil Mass on December 24
• A morning Mass on December 24 AND any Mass on December 25

  • **Technically, this last option works, but should only be a last resort, because you would not have the opportunity to celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent.

A Rorate Mass is a pre-dawn candlelight Mass celebrated during Advent in honor of Our Lady. The name comes from the Entrance Antiphon, Rorate caeli: "Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness." The Mass begins only in candlelight, with dawn breaking as Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, is born again upon the altar in the holy Eucharist.
