SGS News - Fourth Sunday in Lent (Laetare)
Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,
This Sunday is a day many of us have been looking forward to
for quite some time. Solemn Mass — a first for our newest
celebrant, Fr. Boyd! — will be adorned with specially solemn music,
thanks to the generous gift of long-time member of the Society,
Christine M. Beach. Per her request, the Holy Sacrifice will be
offered for all those who are estranged from the Catholic Church.
Please bring family and friends, and join us in prayer that day for
this worthy intention. And afterwards, join us next door for a light
reception, where you are guaranteed to have a good time with all
of your friends and fellow-supporters of the Society’s mission!
Our calendar for the next two Sundays is as follows.
* Fourth Sunday in Lent (Laetare)
Sunday, March 2nd. Solemn Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary’s, Greenwich); the deacon and
homilist will be Fr. Richard Cipolla (St. Mary’s, Norwalk). The
full Schola Cantorum will sing Josquin’s Missa Pange lingua,
motets by Allegri (the “Miserere”) and Tallis, and all of the
proper Gregorian chants. After Mass all are encouraged to
join us next door in the old convent building for coffee, tea, and
cake. The second collection will go to support Sacred Heart
Church (monthly utilities).
