Padre Pio Academy Dinner & Silent Auction at Windows on the River
Fr. Joseph Fessio, S.J. will be speaking at the Padre Pio Academy Dinner & Silent Auction at Windows on the River in Cleveland, OH in the evening of Friday, November 6, 2009. The title of Fr. Fessio’s talk is “The Pope and the Mass.”
Fr. Fessio, the founder of Ignatius Press, is particularly qualified to speak on this subject because he has a long relationship with Pope Benedict XVI. From 1972 through 1975, then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was Fr. Fessio's doctoral director and mentor at the University of Regensburg in West Germany. Fr. Fessio also collaborated with cardinals Ratzinger (then head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) and Schoenborn (executive editor) on the English translation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Every year from 1989 to the present, Fr. Fessio has traveled to Rome for the annual meeting of the directors of Casa Balthasar, a house of formation in Rome. These meetings have always included Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI), Fr. Ouellet (now cardinal of Quebec), and Fr. Schoenborn (now cardinal of Vienna). Furthermore, Ignatius Press has published the works of Pope Benedict XVI for over twenty years.
The event is open to the public and more information can be obtained at www.PioAcademy.org.
Padre Pio Academy is a is a private, non-tax supported, independent school with a mission to transmit the Catholic Faith to elementary school children within the context of a rigorous academic program. The school offers students a classical curriculum built on the great works of Western Civilization.

St. John Nepomucene Schola Cantorum
I am the organist at St. John Nepomucene in southeast Cleveland and have been an organist and choir director for forty years . My current project is to form a well trained schola to sing ordinaries, propers and Gregorian hymns in both Latin and English at the 9 a.m. Sunday Mass (O.F). This is not a Latin Mass, and our repertoire will not be confined totally to chant.I am asking your help to help recruit members. 1. The Saint John Nepomucene Choir which sings at their 9: AM Mass will begin rehearsing again in September. New members must contact Ralph Bednarz 216-641-7988 or after the 4PM or 9am Masses. ralphbednarz@hotmail.com
This choir sings all types of music but The Gregorian Chants of the Gradual Romanum are the paradigm for this choir as it forms into a genuine schola.
Gregorian Chant adds a glorious dignity to the Holy Mass and it can be sung effectively by even the smallest of choirs. Please join us.
