Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary

We will celebrate a Sung High Mass using the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite on Thursday evening October 7 at 7:00PM. This will be the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. All are welcome!

By the way, one of the greatest helps for you when you attend a Mass in the Extraoardinary Form is to have your own hand Missal which contains all the parts of the Mass - including the lessons from Scripture. Let me suggest you purchase a Daily Roman Missal from Baronius Press.

Gregorian Chant classes come to Sacred Heart Parish

A Note from Father Jason Worthley

Some years ago, the Second Vatican Council requested that Gregorian Chant be "given pride of place in liturgical services." While encouraging the composition of modern and truly sacred music for our liturgy, Vatican II desired that the musical treasure of Gregorian Chant be preserved. Pope Benedict XVI has repeatedly upheld this request of Vatican II. As you know, in our liturgical celebrations using the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite (also known as the Traditional Latin Mass), on occasion we are able to use Gregorian Chant. In the past few months, some of the teenagers in our parish have helped us greatly in this regard.

In the hopes of expanding the size of the choir that sings Gregorian Chant, I am pleased to inform you that we will have several chant classes here at our parish. My good friend, Mr. Steve Cavanaugh, will be leading these classes. I encourage those who are musically inclined to consider attending these classes, even if you cannot always make it to the 12:30 Extraordinary Form Mass. If interested, please contact Mr. Cavanaugh by phone (774-240-0065) or email steve@appleblossom.net

These classes will be conducted in the Rectory Conference Room on the following dates:

Saturday September 11 at 11:00AM

Corpus Christi - June 3, 2010

This is a slideshow of our Corpus Christi Procession. We celebrated the Mass for Corpus Christi on Thursday, June 3, using the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. This video begins with a few picturss from the Corpus Christi Procession of Pope Benedict XVI which was celebrated the same day in Rome. Father Worthley's homily is also in this video.

Early June Feast Day Masses and More

Who would have believed this a year ago?

• On Thursday 3 June at 5:30 p.m. there will be a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form for the Feast of Corpus Christi at Sacred Heart Church. Immediately after* Mass there will be a traditional Corpus Christi procession. The procession will encircle the block on which the church and the other parish buildings are situated. Benediction will be be given at two altars on the route of the procession, and the procession will end with Solemn Benediction at the main altar of the Church. There will be a collation afterward with light refreshments served.

Or this?

• As part of the celebration of the 125th anniversary year of Sacred Heart Parish there will be a Sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form on Friday 11 June at 7:00 p.m. on the parish's patronal feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The Litany of the Sacred Heard will be recited after Mass, a parish reception will follow.

Tell your family and friends. How many of them - or you - have been to a Corpus Christi procession in the past 40 years? Join us - and Pope Benedict XVI - in professing our Faith and restoring our Catholic Identity.

*Sunset on 3 June is at 2016 (8:16 p.m.) so there will be plenty of time for the procession
