Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

As already announced, the Feast of Christ the King will be observed this
Sunday at St. Mary’s Church in downtown New Haven with a traditional
Latin Mass at noon. PLEASE NOTE the changes in time and location for
this Mass; the regular schedule at Sacred Heart will resume the following
Sunday. Our plans for the feast include a convivial reception, with
festive food
and drink to match this historic occasion, and a talk on Pope Benedict’s
liturgical vision and the place of the traditional Mass in the Church today by
Fr. Paul Keller, Vice-President of the Society for Catholic liturgy and former
assisting priest at St. Mary’s parish. All are warmly invited to the Mass and
the reception.

Our schedule for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
Sunday, October 26th. Solemn High Mass at *St. Mary’s Church*,
Hillhouse Avenue, New Haven, at *12pm*. The celebrant will be Fr.
Richard Cipolla, assisted by Deacon Robert Brunell and Fr. Robert
Boyd (subdeacon). The full Schola Cantorum of the Society will sing
Victoria’s Missa O quam gloriosum, motets by Josquin DesPrez,
and all the proper Gregorian chants. Mass will conclude with
Benediction, and will be followed by a festive reception and talk in
the parish hall. SEE THE NOTE ABOUT PARKING BELOW.

* Twenty-Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
Sunday, November 2nd. Low Mass at Sacred Heart Church at 2pm,
details TBA.

NOTE ABOUT PARKING: As many of you will know, there is no parking
lot at St. Mary’s. There are a limited number of spots in front and in back
of the church, i.e. on lower Hillhouse Avenue and on Temple Street
between Trumbull Street and Grove Street. But long-term construction
projects on both of these streets, on the half-block between the church
and Trumbull Street, have made parking more of a challenge than usual.
Have no fear, though! On Sundays all Yale University lots are free and
open to the public. The closest two of these can be accessed off of
Trumbull Street between Hillhouse and Temple (one of them is the lot for
the University Health Services; both are clearly marked with blue signs).
Moreover, there should be plenty of on-street parking within a short walk
of the church, e.g. on Grove Street or upper Hillhouse (which Dickens is
said to have called “the most beautiful street in America”!). So come one
and come all…and come early!
