Upcoming Lectures by Dr. Kwasniewski in Canada — Award Ceremony for Bishop Schneider in Winnipeg

The end of May will see a number of lectures and Latin liturgies of interest to tradition-loving Catholics in the cities of Ottawa and Winnipeg.

OTTAWA

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, St. Clement Parish presents a lecture by Dr. Peter Kwasniewski: “The Supreme Expression of the Lex Orandi: Twelve Truths of the Faith Transmitted by the Roman Canon.” In this lecture, Dr. Kwasniewski will discuss the rich theological content and awesome reverence towards of the sole Eucharistic prayer used in the Roman Rite of the Church for nearly 1,400 years, with its roots going back even further, as well as the problems implicit in having abandoned this tradition in favor of a multiplicity of anaphoras. 

The lecture will take place on Saturday, May 26, at 7:00 pm, at St. Paul’s University, 223 Main Street, Ottawa. Free admission (suggested donation $10). Refreshments and book signing with the lecturer to follow.
