First, news comes from the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius about their upcoming workshop for the laity:
Workshop For Laity
Monday August 25 to Friday, August 29, 2008
Extraordinary Form of the Mass - 1962 Missale Romanum
Join the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius in Chicago for the "Workshop for Laity" in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass. The workshop will provide registrants with an in-depth examination and spiritual meditation on the Traditional Latin Mass through the presentation of lectures and tutorials.
Participants will also have opportunities for Eucharistic Adoration to extend the worship of our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. Devotion to Our Blessed Lady will be fostered by the recitation of the Holy Rosary in Latin. Additionally, sacramental Confession will be offered frequently throughout the week for the spiritual benefit of those attending the workshop. And best of all, each day of the workshop, registrants will participate in the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass, with an ever-deeper love and appreciation of the Church, her liturgical traditions and of her Savior, Jesus Christ.
