Brooklyn’s Fr. Carlos Velasquez celebrating his first All Souls Mass as a priest last weekend at St. Sebastian’s in Woodside.
This seems to be a growing trend in the U.S,
Traditionally, black was used at all Masses of the dead and funeral Masses, on All Soul’s Day, and on Good Friday.
In the Novus Ordo, black is not to be used on Good Friday, but may still be used at the other Masses (though violet and even white are also permitted, and in practice preferred).
There is no reason why a priest could not, in the Novus Ordo begin to use black vestments at least for All Soul’s day – and even for funerals and Requiem Masses.
