10 January 2010, the Feast of the Holy Family, marked the
beginning of the the Silver Jubilee year of the Saint Gregory
Society, which will conclude with our 25th anniversary celebration
in 2011. The Officers of the Society are planning a year-long
series of events during this Jubilee year, each of which will
be announced in these regular messages and on the Society’s
website (www.saint-gregory.org).
* Septuagesima Sunday
Sunday, 31 January. Low Mass at 2:00 pm to be celebrated
by The Rev. Matthew Mauriello, St. Roch Church Greenwich.
* The Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple
Sunday, 7 February. Procession and Solemn Mass at 2:00 pm,
to be celebrated by The Rev. John Ringley, St. Lawrence
Church, Shelton. The service will be celebrated with special
pageantry and ceremony.
A landmark occasion in the spiritual and cultural life of the Elm City,
this event will be the first in a series of public functions marking
the 25th Jubilee of the return of the traditional Latin Mass
to our community offered in its age-old form. Sponsored by the
Saint Gregory Society of New Haven, these services commenced
at Sacred Heart Church in New Haven in January of 1986.
This festive observance of Candlemas will include the Blessing
of Candles, Procession, and Solemn Mass. Music for the service
performed by the Society’s Schola Cantorum, a vocal ensemble
of professional musicians internationally recognized for performances
in concert, recordings and media broadcasts of sacred music
and Gregorian chant in its original context–the sung Latin liturgy.
Musical works will include Palestrina’s “Missa Sicut lilium,”
motets by Victoria, Palestrina and Lasso, and the Gregorian
chants of the day. All in attendance are invited to a reception
which will immediately follow the Mass.
