We are happy to announce that the Society of St Hugh of Cluny and St. Mary’s parish, Norwalk, Connecticut are sponsoring a conference and mass on Thursday, October 19 at St Mary’s church. The conference and mass commemorates the tenth anniversary of Summorum Pontificum. The proceedings will be as follows:

5:30 PM. Bishop Athanasius Schneider and Fr. Innocent Smith OP will give presentations in the parish hall of St. Mary’s.

7:30 PM. Solemn Mass celebrated by Bishop Schneider (from the faldstool).

9:00 PM. Reception in the parish hall.

We are proud once again to welcome Bishop Schneider back to Connecticut. I hope that many of you will be able to participate in this special evening!

It was a beautiful afternoon this past Saturday when St. Mary’s Church in Norwalk celebrated it’s patronal feast with a Solemn Mass within the Octave of the Assumption. The musical setting of the Mass was Mozart’s glorious “Sparrow’s Mass.” The church was honored with the presence of Bishop Frank Caggiano.

Bishop Caggiano kneels at the door of the church, waiting to be greeted by the pastor.

Acolytes bring a crucifix to present to the Bishop

Before Mass, the Bishop vests before his people.

After Mass, the congregation exits to escort the statue of Our Lady of Norwalk throught the neighborhood in procession.

At 6 pm, the procession pauses for the recitation of the Angelus.

A festive dinner follows the procession, with entertainment, including a special guest singer.

Mother Dolores Hart
Lecture and Book Signing
September 23, 7:30 PM
Catholic Center, NYU

The Catholic Artists Society proudly presents Mother Dolores Hart, contemplative nun at the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Connecticut.

Mother Dolores left behind a brilliant career in Hollywood to join the monastery. By 1963, when she heard God’s call to her vocation, she had ten successful movies to her credit (including Francis of Assisi—see below), having shared the screen with Elvis Presley, Anthony Quinn, and Myrna Loy, among other notables. She had performed on television and on Broadway. For the latter she had earned a Tony nomination. But she knew the life of a contemplative was what God wanted for her.

Mother Dolores’ mission as an actress did not end, but rather took a contemplative turn. She believes film can be an artistic medium for spiritual growth. And she helps young people find their vocation in Christ through the medium of the theater. In 1986, she founded The Gary-The Olivia Theater, an open air theater at the Abbey.

Mother Dolores’s autobiography is entitled The Ear of the Heart: An Actress’ Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows (2013). She is the recipient of two Honorary Doctorates: in Jurisprudence from Fairfield University and in Fine Arts from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. She is a voting member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

A book signing, reception, and sung Compline will follow the lecture. The Catholic Center at NYU is located at 238 Thompson Street, just south of Washington Square Park.
