Rorate Caeli

Event: Catholic Identity Conference 2013

Later this month in the U.S. there will be a gathering near Franciscan University of Steubenville: the Catholic Identity Conference 2013.

Speakers will include editors, producers and columnists from The Remnant, Catholic Family News, The Angelus, Life Site News and Church Militant TV, as well as the director of development for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter and other important presenters.  Photos from last year's conference can be viewed on the FSSP's website here.


Mass will be offered each day -- Low Masses on Friday the 20th and Saturday 21st, and a Missa Cantata on Sunday the 22nd.  Gregorian chant at the Sunday Mass will be sung by a men's schola from Franciscan University of Steubenville, which regularly sings at the traditional Latin Mass offered in the chapel there.  (For those who know the history of the charismatic movement at this college, you will recognize this is a very welcome accomplishment of the Summorum Pontificum era.)  The conference and Masses will be the second annual such lineup in Weirton, West Virginia.



Details for this month's conference can be found below and at The Remnant's website.  One can register for the entire conference, or just a portion of it.  Priests and religious are free.  If attending, I hope to meet you there.
