Latin liturgy group plans July convention

An association that promotes the use of Latin in all approved rites in the Church will hold its 10th national convention at St. Francis de Sales Oratory in South St. Louis Friday to Sunday, July 14-16.

The Latin Liturgy Association is the only organization in the United States that seeks to foster greater use of Latin in both the Novus Ordo (Vatican II) rite and the traditional (Tridentine) rite of the Mass.

The organization has 38 U.S. bishops on its board of episcopal advisers and, according to a statement on its Web site, believes that it is important to work from within the Church to help maintain its Latin liturgical tradition and its patrimony of sacred music.
The convention fee is $75 for association members and $95 for others. Included in the fee is a buffet lunch on Saturday and a banquet on Sunday. For more information, see www.latinliturgy.com or call Regina Morris at (314) 647-0475.
