I have been meaning to post on some of these items, but have just been caught up in other things.
Chicago
October 3-5 conference on Sacred Liturgy. This goes with the image at the top of the post. Click this link for details and registration.I meant to post on this a few weeks back. My regrets for such late notice. I did see flyers out at Assumption Grotto and some were taking them. I hope some from this area can make it.
Detroit Area
These items come in the order they are taking place.Friday, Sept 26: Chant Class with Fr. Perrone
Fr. Perrone needs a live audience for a chant class being recorded. He wrote in his September 14 column:
I have been asked to teach in our gym an introductory course on Gregorian Chant that requires a live audience. The course will be video recorded and later made available for viewing and purchase. The idea is for me to explain to those who may have no previous knowledge how to sing Chant. It will build from the most basic things to the more complex. I’m in need of summoning an audience for this purpose. This will not be open to small children, however, older children who can sit still and grasp the class content would be welcome. Viewers, I suppose, would of necessity be more or less limited to retired adults, stay-at-home Moms, [people with non-traditional work schedules], and homeschool children. Please consider coming and participating. There’s no cost to you and I think you will find the classes enlightening, beneficial, and perhaps entertaining. The proposed dates for the series are (1) Monday Sept. 29 from 2:00 pm. Until 5:00 p.m.; (2) Friday Oct. 3, a double session, from 10:00 a.m. until noon and then after a lunch break from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.; (3)Monday Oct. 6 from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.; (4) Thursday Oct. 30, a double session, from 10:00 a.m. until noon and then after a lunch break from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m.
Read the rest in the September 14, Grotto News in Fr. Perrone's main column.

Sept 29: Monday Night Catechism with Fr. Perrone
From the same Grotto News, Fr. Perrone announced the start of his rather popular, yearly catechism class. He writes:My adult catechism class, which serves the dual purpose of convert instruction and adult refresher course, will begin September 29 and go from 6:00 until 7:00 p.m. in the school lounge. It will continue on all Monday evenings until Easter. No cost save for the purchase of a textbook.
Noteworthy is that there is a 7:00 p.m. Mass some participants go to that is usually right around 30-35 minutes, with the Rosary following the Mass. It is a low Mass in Extraordinary Form.
I can tell you he gets a good showing of cradle Catholics along with people discerning that faith journey into the Church. He'll talk about his choice of books and it will be available for purchase in the gift shop.
