Additional observations Five Wounds is a beautiful church in the Diocese of San Jose. It was originally built a century ago by Portuguese Catholics, has a Portuguese pastor and still offers many of its Masses in Portuguese. Its architecture is traditional and its artwork ornate; it is a prominent historic church that was designated a historical landmark by the City of San Jose. The oratory was erected at Five Wounds in 2013. Bishop Athanasius Schneider recently visited the oratory to celebrate a Pontifical Low Mass; watch the Mass on the parish Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/IHMSanJose/videos/2139940159366439/.
Apparently photo caption mis-aligned. One photo appears to show Bishop releasing a dove, titled as celebrating Mass at the Oratory. Other photo, apparently of a Mass, is captioned School No.
Whats the dove have to do with the story?
All photos are of the oratory. Bishop Athanasius Schneider celebrated mass there during his recent visit, and the photo of the white dove was taken afterwards. The text of the story was underneath one of the photos, but we switched placement to avoid confusion. Thanks for letting us know.
Remarkable parish. It’s clearly one of the gems of California Catholicism.
An excellent place to attend Mass, I go whenever I can. Canon Ueda is a wonderful confessor, I have gone to him for years. A beautiful Mass in a beautiful church.
