On August 25, Catholics gathered from across the world to celebrate the Feast of St. Louis IX in the city of St. Louis, Missouri. Alejandro Rodriguez of LifeSiteNews met with prominent Catholic figures, Dr. Peter Kwasniewski, Monsignor Eugene Morris, and others to discuss the importance of Tradition in the modern era. Dr. Kwasniewski explained how traditional chant is more fitting for Divine Liturgy and why it was used extensively in the festival procession. Additionally, Msgr. Morris addressed why the festival began and how its inception was a result of the attempted destruction of the statue of St. Louis. Then Msgr. Morris saluted the staff of the Oratory of Saints Gregory and Augustine for their efforts in the festival and proudly stated that many young people are beginning to become attracted to traditional liturgical rites.
