Dear Friend of the Saint Gregory Society,
Our longtime celebrant Fr. Cipolla will be celebrating the 25th
anniversary of his ordination on February 1st. He extends an
invitation to all of the friends of the Society to join him for this
special occasion:
“I want to invite all members and friends of the Saint Gregory
Society to the Solemn Mass at which I will give thanks to God
for 25 years of priesthood. The Saint Gregory Society has
played a fundamental role in my priesthood in bringing me to a
love for the Traditional Mass and to an understanding that the
Traditional Mass is a real part of the future liturgical life of the
Church. The Mass (Extraordinary Form) will be at Saint Mary’s
Church in Norwalk. There will be an organ recital at 3 pm.
Mass will follow at 3:30 pm. A reception will follow at which
I will give my jubilee blessing to my many friends in Christ.
I hope you can all come. Bring friends if you wish.
Yours in Christ,
Father Richard G. Cipolla”
For those who wish to attend this Mass, directions to the church
may be found on the St. Mary’s website:

Because many of us will want to be there, it has been decided to
change the time of the Mass at Sacred Heart that Sunday. Instead
of the usual that day, a low Mass will be offered at 1:30pm.
PLEASE MAKE NOTE OF THIS CHANGE.
A related note: While visiting the website of St. Mary’s Church in
Norwalk, don’t miss the outstanding letter from the pastor, “our own”
Fr. Greg Markey:

God bless Fr. Markey for his courageous support of the traditional
Latin Mass!
