On Saturday, September 14, at 10:00 AM the Society of St Hugh of Cluny will be sponsoring a Solemn mass at the Shrine Church of the Most Precious Blood at 113 Baxter Street, New York.

The Mass will be for the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross – but will take place amid the noisy tumult of the San Gennaro festival. it will also be two days after the twelfth anniversary of the first mass sponsored by this Society – also in New York City.

Father Richard Cipolla will be the celebrant, David Hughes will direct the music. We look forward to seeing you all once again in Little Italy!

We received a message from Catherine Frank of the St. Ladislaus Mass Community with this information.

A fervent long-time supporter of the Traditional Mass and, until very recently, a member of St. Mary Church, Norwalk, Barbara Rickman passed away suddenly on Wednesday, August 21. A Solemn Requiem Mass will be offered on Thursday, August 29 at 11 am at the Oratory of Sts. Cyril and Methodius in Bridegport, CT. Fr. Richard Cipolla will be celebrant. David Hughes will direct the music.

A resident of Naugatuck, Barbara made the long journey to attend the Traditional Mass at St. Mary Norwalk from the time it was first on the schedule in 2007. Prior to that, she attended the Traditional Mass when it was at St. Mary, Stamford. A woman with a deep knowledge and love of Catholic Tradition and a strong prayer life, Barbara’s last words, at least to me, were about prayer. She wrote in an email on the morning of her death that she would be praying for St. Mary’s Church along with a rosary group that would meet that evening, even though she could not attend in person. “I shall do what Our Lord has asked me to do and that is pray for all of your efforts tonight at the Parish Council meeting.” I  am sure that she did pray.

We extend our sympathy to her husband of 35 years, Robert Rickman, her father Euga Jackson, and her two sons Chris and Brian.
