A notice:

The Orestes Brownson Council (http://www.nd.edu/~obcnd) of the
University of Notre Dame will be sponsoring a solemn Latin Requiem
Mass, celebrated according to the Pauline rite, with full Gregorian
chant performed by the Notre Dame Gregorian Schola. The Mass is
cosponsored by People of Devotion, the Jacques Maritain Center, and
the Notre Dame Department of Theology, and will take place at 5:15 pmon Tuesday, November 7th, in the Alumni Hall Chapel. Feel free to let anyone who might be interested know about this Mass.

And then, a few miles in a northerly direction, Fr. Rob reports on the liturgy at his paris tonight:

I was very fortunate, a few months ago, to be introduced to a musical ensemble called "The Schola of the Chair of St. Peter". They are a group of Catholic gentlemen from around the Grand Rapids area who have been gathering to learn and sing Chant for the past decade or so. Their knowledge and mastery of chant is deep and rich. They sing from time to time at a few parishes, but, unfortunately, as is the case in much of the US, the Catholic musical environment in this area hasn’t been very chant-friendly.

I have made them the official "Chant Schola In Residence" here at St. Stanislaus, and they will be singing here for the first time tonight. They will be singing the Gregorian Requiem Mass, complete with the Dies Irae, which will be sung during communion following the Communion antiphon. My congregation has already learned the Ordinary of Mass XVIII, so this will not be a mere spectator experience, but will, I hope, embody the ideal of participatio actuosa as envisioned by the fathers of Vatican II.

Also, for the first time here in at least 25 years, I will use the Roman Canon in Latin for the Eucharistic Prayer.
