“The American Delegation of the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George invites you to a Solemn High Mass that we will be sponsoring in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows to be celebrated for the persecuted Christians of the Middle East at Most Precious Blood Church at 113 Baxter Street in Manhattan’s Little Italy on Friday, March 23rd at 7:15 p.m.”

Our Society will be sponsoring a Solemn Mass at St. Agnes Church in Brooklyn for the Feast of St. Joan of Arc on Wednesday,  May 30 at 7 pm.

A historic church lovingly called the “Cathedral of Brooklyn,” by locals,  St. Agnes is located at 433 Sackett Street in Carroll Gardens. This will be the first Traditional Mass in this church since the Second Vatican Council.

The F & G trains and the B57 buses are a short walk from the church on the next street over (Smith Street).

This Wednesday, February 6, St. Mary’s Church, Norwalk, Ct, will offer a solemn Mass to dedicate a new shrine to Our Lady of Norwalk at 6 pm. All choirs of St. Mary’s will participate. A special reception will follow in the parish hall.

Fr. Cipolla recently wrote about the new shrine:

At the beginning of last summer I commissioned a local woodworker to build a medieval triptych that would be the basis for a true Shrine of Our Lady of Norwalk. . . .
Then I had to find a painter who understood medieval painting techniques and who would have great empathy with the project itself. I interviewed three local artists and made a decision, based on the recommendation of a friend of St. Mary’s, to hire the artist who would paint the triptych, who, by the way, has roots in Norwalk. . . .
The statue of Our Lady of Norwalk will sit on a platform that projects out from the center of the triptych. The left panel has a painting of St. Mary’s church. The right panel shows an oyster fisherman in full gear, with the Norwalk islands in the background. The central panel depicts Mary’s throne with saints surrounding. How fitting all of this is for Norwalk, which is the geographical center of the shoreline of Fairfield County and which is the locus of the Mother Church of so many parishes in this diocese. How fitting this is for our Lady and her Son to guide as a supernatural Lighthouse this special parish with its special mission of true liturgical renewal at a time when the Church so sorely needs this!
