Complete Speakers List Announced - Society for Catholic Liturgy Conference in NYC

SOCIETY FOR CATHOLIC LITURGY CONFERENCE—JUST A FEW DAYS LEFT TO REGISTER


Don’t forget to sign up for the Society for Catholic Liturgy conference—just a few days left before registration closes on Sept. 22nd!

The Most Reverend Salvatore J. Cordileone, Archbishop of San Francisco, will deliver the keynote address: “We Are Bound to Give Thanks to God Always: Worship That is Right and Just” at the Union League Club on Thursday, October 1. And on Friday, October 2, he will celebrate a Solemn Pontifical Mass (Extraordinary Form), accompanied by a sixteen-voice choir, at the historic Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral.

Two days of scholarly lectures follow at the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Center for Thought and Culture. Topics range from the justice of worship in St. Thomas Aquinas to the styles and hierarchies of Gregorian chant melodies. The Pastoral Track of the conference, held at the Basilica Parish House, will offer practical workshops for parish and diocesan personnel—everything from financing a parish music program, to liturgical preaching, to "unwreckovation."

Our distinguished speakers are:

Matthew Alderman

Fr Thomas Buffer
Fr Daniel Cardó

Among the other beautiful liturgies to be offered, all free and open to the public, Archbishop Cordileone will preside Friday evening at Pontifical Vespers (Extraordinary Form), again accompanied by a professional choir.

And there will be plenty of opportunity to see old friends and make new ones at breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. All are welcome for three days of learning, prayer, and camaraderie.
