A Traditional Latin Mass celebrated on the slopes of Everest. Amazing!

Ab ortu enim solis usque ad occasum, magnum est nomen meum in gentibus, et in omni loco sacrificatur : et offertur nomini meo oblatio munda, quia magnum est nomen meum in gentibus, dicit Dominus exercituum. (Mal. 1:11)
Father Doohan, a priest of the Diocese of Dunkeld, arrived in Nepal on May 2, hauling medical supplies for St. Ignatius’ Church in Kathmandu, then set off with Bishokarma and a small porter team toward Everest Base Camp — 4 vertical miles higher than Scotland’s Ben Nevis.
“Heaven has once again come down to Earth at its highest point,” he told fellow climbers at the base-camp Mass. “It’s certainly the first Holy Mass here in the nascent pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.”
