SGS News Extra - Solemn Pontifical Vespers with Bishop Rifan this

Wednesday, June 17th, 2009

Dear 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.

Bishop Fernando Ar=EAas Rifan will be the celebrant at Solemn Pontifical
Vespers and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament at St. Mary
Church, Norwalk, Connecticut on Sunday, June 21 at 5:00 pm. Bishop
Rifan is the Apostolic Administrator of the Personal Apostolic
Administration of St. John Mary Vianney in Campos, Brazil. These
Vespers mark the conclusion of a novena of Masses in New York City
sponsored by the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart.
