SGS News Extra - Solemn Pontifical Vespers with Bishop Rifan this
Wednesday, June 17th, 2009Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,
We wish to forward this exciting news from our friends at the Society
of St. Hugh of Cluny. St. Mary’s is about a 40 minute drive from Sacred
Heart straight down I-95 (see the link to their website for directions).
This will be an extraordinary opportunity to encounter a fundamental
part of the old liturgy — the Divine Office — with which many traditional
Catholics remain unacquainted even today.

Vespers and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at St. Mary
