In this, our first post for 2016, we are pleased to draw attention to the ordination of Father Max Landman of the Diocese of Victoria (Texas) USA. Father Landman was ordained to the Sacred Priesthood in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Victory, Victoria on 4th June by the Most Rev'd Brendan Cahill, along with a number of other candidates.
Father Landman commissioned two vestments from the Studio for the celebration of his First Holy Mass.

Complementing the chasuble was a dalmatic (see Figure 5, below) ornamented with the same decorative scheme, but with the emphasis being on the traditional clavi. Both chasuble and dalmatic were lined in a crimson-red shade of taffeta.

Interior of the Cathedral of our Lady of Victory, Victoria, Texas.
Although in the more modern style of the 1950's and 1960's,
it has references to Gothic church architecture.
The pitched ceiling is enhanced by large trusses
which continue downward to form the columns separating
the side aisles from the nave.
The sanctuary is enhanced by a lofty reredos in mosaic-work
and a corona directly above the altar.
