Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

As most of you know, the future of Sacred Heart Parish is still
uncertain at this time. When the Officers of the Society receive
any verifiable information that will affect the scheduling of the
Latin Mass at the church, it will be passed on to you via email.
In the meantime, during the coming weeks of summer, Low
Mass will continue to be celebrated regularly at Sacred Heart
Church on Sundays at 2pm. As per usual, the Schola will take
the summer off and, Deo volente, will return for the biweekly
High Mass next Fall.

And a reminder: next Tuesday is the second anniversary of the
publication of the Motu proprio “Summorum Pontificum”! Let us
all renew our prayers for the Holy Father at this time, that he
may have the strength to continue to follow through on this
greatest act of his pontificate, and for the priests and bishops
who are supporting him in this work, often in the face of hostility
and profound misunderstanding, that their efforts may be
rewarded with all kinds of human and spiritual consolation.

Our calendar for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, July 5th. Low Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated by
the pastor of Sacred Heart Church, Fr. James Richardson.
The second collection is for the parish (monthly utilities).

* Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, July 12th. Low Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. John Ringley (St. Lawrence, Shelton).

ALL MASSES TAKE PLACE IN SACRED HEART CHURCH,
NEW HAVEN (COLUMBUS AVENUE AT LIBERTY STREET,
NEAR UNION STATION).

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

As you may already know, Fr. Robert Boyd will soon be leaving
the Diocese of Bridgeport to join the Fraternity of St. Peter. It will
be a sad day for many people in the area, not least for us in the
Saint Gregory Society. After the death of our dear former chaplain,
Fr. Kevin Fitzpatrick, Fr. Boyd generously agreed to step into the
enormous void he left, becoming, in effect, the new cornerstone of
the SGS rota of priests. For this, we owe him a tremendous debt
of gratitude. Let us all remember Fr. Boyd in our prayers in the
days and weeks ahead, that his new life and ministry in the FSSP
will be richly blessed by God. This Sunday’s Mass will be his last
in New Haven. His first assignment with the Fraternity will be at
Our Lady of Fatima Chapel in Pequannock, New Jersey.

Our calendar for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, June 28th. Low Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary, Norwalk). The second offering
will go to support the work of the Saint Gregory Society.

* Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, July 5th. Low Mass at 2pm, details TBA.

ALL MASSES TAKE PLACE IN SACRED HEART CHURCH,

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

We wish to forward this exciting news from our friends at the Society
of St. Hugh of Cluny. St. Mary’s is about a 40 minute drive from Sacred
Heart straight down I-95 (see the link to their website for directions).
This will be an extraordinary opportunity to encounter a fundamental
part of the old liturgy — the Divine Office — with which many traditional
Catholics remain unacquainted even today.

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

Our longtime celebrant Fr. Greg Markey, pastor of St. Mary’s Church
in Norwalk, CT, will offer a Solemn Mass of thanksgiving on the occasion
of the 10th anniversary of his ordination to the sacred priesthood, this
Sunday, May 24th, at 9:30am. Those of you who know Father will not be
surprised to learn that this Mass will be celebrated in the traditional form.
The St. Mary’s Schola Cantorum will sing Victoria’s Missa “Ascendens
Christus” for five voices; motets by Palestrina, Josquin, and Biebl; and all
of the proper Gregorian chants for the Sunday. The Women’s Guild will

We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude to
Fr. Markey for his years of service to our Society. Please join us in prayer
that God will continue to bless his ministry, and in particular his tireless
work for the cause of the Church’s traditional liturgy, which we all hold so
dear.
