Messa degli Artisti

ARTISTS' MASS

As on every first Sunday of the month, L’Eccezione of Puglia Teatro at the Church of the Holy Redeemer of Bari revives an ancient tradition of the city, thanks to the sensitivity of the parish priest of the Church of the Redeemer, Don Carlo Cassatella, and the director Don Pasquale Martino, who have made the Salesian Fathers’ Church in Bari available for this initiative. The aim is to gather and reflect with all the artistic communities of the city.

This beautiful tradition began in Rome in the early 1940s, lasting at least thirty years and documented in a rare publication from 1972. After Rome, the initiative spread to other cities, including Bari itself, which in the 1960s hosted many of the city's artistic forces at the Church of La Vallisa. The initiative eventually faded away until its welcome revival in present times.

Every first Sunday of each month, therefore, at 11:30 a.m., the Artists' Mass will be celebrated at the Church of the Holy Redeemer in Bari, featuring two artists interpreting some sections of the Rite and the Artists' Prayer, and musicians providing accompaniment throughout the Celebration.

On Sunday, January 5, Antonio Gelormini and Antonio Grimaldi will be present, along with musicians and the church choir, while Don Pasquale Martino will celebrate the Rite.
