SGS News - Good Friday

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,

As in years past, Good Friday will be observed in the traditional form
of the Roman Rite at Sacred Heart Church in New Haven. The Liturgy
will take place at 11am (not at 12pm, as in some previous years).
The celebrant will be Fr. Robert Boyd (St. Mary’s, Norwalk). The
men’s Schola will sing all the proper Gregorian chants, as well as
Victoria’s setting of the Reproaches.

Best wishes for a blessed Triduum.

whether it be for the first time or just the first time in a long time.
Therefore we would like to encourage you to bring your friends and
families to Sacred Heart Church at some point during this coming

salvation”.

forthcoming early next week.

Palestrina (”Nos autem gloriari”), and Lasso (”Tristis est anima
mea’); and all the proper Gregorian chants for the Procession
and Mass of Palm Sunday. The second collection will benefit
Sacred Heart parish (monthly utilities).

* Easter Sunday
