SGS News - Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete)

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

Unfortunately, the snow in New Haven today has made it
impossible for the Schola to hold a rehearsal, and with more
snow predicted for Saturday night and Sunday we have felt
obliged to change our plans for Gaudete Sunday. We hope
to make up for this by having a festive Mass with the full
Schola sometime in Christmastide. Stay tuned to SGS News
and you’ll be the first to know!

Our calendar for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete)
Sunday, December 16th. High Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. Richard Cipolla (St. Mary’s, Norwalk). The chant Schola
will sing Mass XVII (for Sundays in Advent and Lent), plainsong
hymns, and all of the proper Gregorian chants. The second
collection is a special Archdiocesan collection for retired religious.

* Fourth Sunday of Advent
Sunday, December 23rd. Low Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. Kevin Fitzpatrick (Holy Cross, Fairfield).

ALL MASSES TAKE PLACE IN SACRED HEART CHURCH,
NEW HAVEN (COLUMBUS AVENUE AT LIBERTY STREET,
