One of my complaints about EWTN has always been that I think they could do a much better job of highlighting liturgical life across the US, not just in Birmingham and the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in DC. Yes, finances are an issue, but I would think that the diocese in question could certainly help foot the bill, if not foot it completely.

So I might find the time to watch, with interest, this next Monday as EWTN braodcasts Mass from Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral in the Diocese of Phoenix, with Bishop Olmstead celebrating and their Schola providing music. It will be at 11:30 Eastern.

(By the way, you may or may not know that The Hallmark Channel broadcasts Mass from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame every Sunday.  The University webcasts its Saturday evening Mass – viewing available at the link above. The music for that Mass is regularly provided by the Women’s Liturgical Choir.)

Update: This just in, from Notre Dame:

Feast of the Annunciation Latin Mass — March 26th, 2007 – 6:15 pm — Aumni Hall Chapel
A solemn Latin Mass for the feast of the Annunciation will take place at Alumni Hall Chapel on Monday, March 26th at 6:15 pm. The Notre Dame Gregorian Schola as well as Prof. Alex Blachly’s Schola Musicorum will provide chant and polyphony. The Mass will be celebrated by Fr. Neil Roy, and will be cosponsored by the Orestes Brownson Counil, People of Devotion, the Jacques Maritain Center, and the Department of Theology. All are welcome.
