I don't remember if there was any ad-libbing on the part of the priest. I usually notice things like that. He did use Eucharistic Prayer II. On the other hand, your question did cause me to remember the blessing of the graduates at the end, where the parents and relatives were encouraged to extend their hands in unison with the priest. That was pretty ridiculous.

Speaking of the Mass from Sunday, I should have my pictures from that soon too. I will post them.

I'm looking forward to see the pictures you took of Fr. Magiera's Mass.

Back to your post...Is Villanova U in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia? Have you thought about sending your pictures along w/ a note of grievance to Cardinal Rigali?
