Expansion of St. Gregory Society's activities

News from the Saint Gregory Society:

"Thanks largely to the response to the recently instituted second collection during the High Mass at Sacred Heart we are pleased to announce a special High Mass for the feast of Pentecost at which the full Schola Cantorum of the Society will perform.

"This represents a notable expansion of our activities in comparison with the past few years, and it is a direct consequence of your faithful support of our common work. Needless to say, we are very grateful to God for this, and hope that you can join us at Mass that day to give thanks.

"Please bring a friend along, and plan to stay for a while afterwards, when [we] will host a reception for all. The last one on Palm Sunday was a great success, with plenty of good food and drink and enjoyable conversation, and this one promises to be the same. For more details about Pentecost at Sacred Heart see below. And kindly help us to publicize this Mass by distributing the attached poster to friends and family, and putting it up in your local parish church!

Sunday, May 27th: High Mass at 2pm to be celebrated by Fr. Richard Cipolla (St. Mary's, Stamford).

The full Schola Cantorum will sing Palestrina's Missa Angelus Domini, motets by Gascogne ("Caritas Dei") and Palestrina ("Loquebantur variis linguis"), and the all the proper Gregorian chants. The Society cordially invites you to a reception to be given in the former convent adjacent to the church immediately following the Mass.

ALL MASSES TAKE PLACE IN SACRED HEART CHURCH, NEW HAVEN (COLUMBUS AVENUE AT LIBERTY STREET, NEAR UNION STATION).
