| Bishop Sample |
The keynote speaker is Bishop Alexander Sample of the Diocese of Marquette. His talk is entitled: Revisiting What Vatican II Said About The Church. You can hear Bishop Sample discuss this with Teresa Tomeo back in September on her show, Catholic Connection (it begins around 28 minutes into the recording). If the player doesn't work in your browser, click here.
EDIT 10/11/2012: Bishop Sample spoke to Teresa Tomeo again on October 10th for 9 minutes about the conference and the Solemn Pontifical Mass (1962 Missal) he will celebrate on the 14th at Assumption Grotto. Click here and after you begin playing the show (autoplay), you can drag the player to about 38 minutes and the roughly 9 minute segment starts soon after. Tonight is the last night for online registration, but tickets can be purchased at the door for the adult and youth conference. However, you won't be guaranteed a box lunch if you wait. Also, the evening dinner could get sold out.

PONTIFICAL HIGH MASS on SUNDAY WITH BISHOP SAMPLE
The Traditional Latin Mass at Assumption Grotto moves to the Noon time-slot on Sunday, October 14th. Bishop Alexander Sample will celebrate a Pontifical High Mass in the Extraordinary Form at Noon - the first at Assumption Grotto in memory. It is open to all. It will also be an orchestral Mass featuring the Mass composed by Fr. Eduard Perrone called, "Fountain of Beauty" (which he explains in detail, here). These kinds of Masses do run longer, so be prepared. The Grotto Knights of Columbus are offering an Italian Dinner following the Mass, with Bishop Sample and speakers.
