SGS News - Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

As announced in last week’s SGS News, our longtime celebrant
Fr. Cipolla will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of his ordination
this Sunday February 1st with a Solemn Mass at St. Mary’s Church
in Norwalk. He has extended an open invitation to all friends of the
Society to attend, and since many will wish to do so, we have opted
to move the Mass at Sacred Heart a half hour earlier than usual.
For more details and a link to directions to St. Mary’s in Norwalk,
please see the last email bulletin here:
http://www.saint-gregory.org/2009/01/sgs-news-third-sunday-after-the-epiphany/
We have been asked to point out that parking is available in the lot
behind the church, and “overflow” parking is across the street from
this lot at the bank.

We would like to take this opportunity to express publicly our deep
gratitude to Fr. Cipolla for his many years of service to our Society,
and to wish him every blessing in his future ministry, that it may
continue to bear lasting fruit for the Church and, in particular, for the
cause of the traditional liturgy which we all hold so dear to our hearts.

Our schedule for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
Sunday, February 1st. Low Mass ***AT 1:30PM***, to be
celebrated by Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary, Norwalk). The
second collection will be for Sacred Heart parish (monthly
utilities).
PLEASE NOTE THE UNUSUAL TIME OF THIS MASS.

* Septuagesima Sunday
Sunday, February 8th. High Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary, Norwalk). The chant schola
will sing the “Missa Orbis factor” (Mass XI), the antiphon
“Ave Regina caelorum”, the responsory “Media vita”, and all
the proper Gregorian chants.

ALL MASSES TAKE PLACE IN SACRED HEART CHURCH,

SGS News - Third Sunday after the Epiphany

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

Our longtime celebrant Fr. Cipolla will be celebrating the 25th
anniversary of his ordination on February 1st. He extends an
invitation to all of the friends of the Society to join him for this
special occasion:

“I want to invite all members and friends of the Saint Gregory
Society to the Solemn Mass at which I will give thanks to God
for 25 years of priesthood. The Saint Gregory Society has
played a fundamental role in my priesthood in bringing me to a
love for the Traditional Mass and to an understanding that the
Traditional Mass is a real part of the future liturgical life of the
Church. The Mass (Extraordinary Form) will be at Saint Mary’s
Church in Norwalk. There will be an organ recital at 3 pm.
Mass will follow at 3:30 pm. A reception will follow at which
I will give my jubilee blessing to my many friends in Christ.
I hope you can all come. Bring friends if you wish.

Yours in Christ,

Father Richard G. Cipolla”

For those who wish to attend this Mass, directions to the church
may be found on the St. Mary’s website:
http://www.stmarynorwalk.net/drxnsbox.html
Because many of us will want to be there, it has been decided to
change the time of the Mass at Sacred Heart that Sunday. Instead
of the usual that day, a low Mass will be offered at 1:30pm.
PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS CHANGE.

A related note: While visiting the website of St. Mary’s Church in
Norwalk, don’t miss the outstanding letter from the pastor, “our own”
Fr. Greg Markey:

God bless Fr. Markey for his courageous support of the traditional
Latin Mass!

Our schedule for the next two Sundays is as follows:

* Third Sunday after the Epiphany
Sunday, January 25th. High Mass at 2pm, to be celebrated
by the pastor of Sacred Heart Church, Fr. James Richardson.
The chant schola will sing the “Missa Orbis factor” (Mass XI),
the plainsong hymn “O sola magnarum”, the responsory “Unus
panis”, and all the proper Gregorian chants. The second offering
will go to support the work of the Saint Gregory Society.

* Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
Sunday, January 18th. Low Mass ***AT 1:30PM***, to be
celebrated by Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary, Norwalk).
