*** HOLIDAY SHOPPING WITH SAINT GREGORY SOCIETY ***
This holiday season remember that the recordings and publications
offered by our society make uniquely appropriate gifts. There is
still time to order these items in time for Christmas giving. Orders
received over our website are processed within 48 hours.

* The traditional Liturgical Calendar is a “must” for any
individual or family that is devoted to the older use; for every day
of the year it lists the appointed liturgy, class, liturgical color, along
with commemorations and information as to the traditional schedule
of fast and abstinence

* The Society’s Christmas Cards, Note Cards and Mass Cards are
singularly appropriate as gifts and greetings at Christmas time.
Our Christmas cards include a Latin text taken from the liturgy
of Christmas along with an English translation.

* Recordings. The compact discs produced by the St. Gregory Society
have received copious critical acclaim and have been purchased
by traditional Catholics and music lovers throughout the world.
Featuring seven of the great feasts of the Catholic calendar, they
present Gregorian chant and polyphonic works of the greatest
choral composers of the Renaissance in the context of the sung
Mass for each of these feasts. Every cd is accompanied by a booklet
containing the complete text of the liturgy in Latin and English,
along with historical notes. Each of these recordings is a testimony
to one of the Church’s greatest artistic treasures, her sublime
sacred music. As a gift at Christmastide it will serve as a reminder
to the recipient of the “Gift that is Eternal.”
