All participants can help us in preserving and propagating the events that take place at the Fall Pilgrimage. We need lots of audio/video/images. Unlike the usual events that are encumbered by restrictions and proprietary claims, this entire conference is completely open source, so that no one should fear recording or taking pictures and uploading everything as soon as possible for general sharing. This is the way we get the word out. If you can help in this area, please take the initiative and share the results as widely as possible, particularly on the Musica Sacra forum.

Please remember to start saying the Novena in Honor of the Immaculate Conception this Friday, September 18th. We will conclude the Novena in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel in the Upper Church of the Shrine on Friday and Saturday, September 25 and 26th.
Also, please be advised that the EF Mass on Saturday, September 26 is a Votive Mass for the Blessed Virgin Mary and is not intended to fulfill your Sunday obligation. Please take this into consideration when making your plans for the weekend. We will have a list of Mass times at the Shrine and neighboring churches available at the Pilgrimage for those of you coming from afar.

Because of your generosity, ten seminarians have received full scholarships to attend the Fall Pilgrimage: Gregorian Chant at the National Shrine. What this portends for the future of sacred music in our country is mind boggling — and beyond anything that could have been imagined ten, five, or even two years ago. The future is indeed a bright one.
But we still need more help. If you are planning on registering before the deadline of September 14 (this coming Monday), please considering adding and extra $10, $20, or $50 to your donation.

CMAA member and seasoned director Mary Ann Carr Wilson will be offering 10 FREE Gregorian chant classes Wednesdays Sept. 9- Nov. 11, 7:30-9pm. Classes will be held in the choir room at St. Anne’s parish in Logan Heights (621 Sicard St., San Diego, CA, 92113)
Course time will be spent reviewing basics of style and notation, working together on at least one Mass setting (Ordinary), and several beloved chant hymns. The class is open to anyone interested in learning this form of sung prayer, and has been announced in the Southern Cross and various bulletins. Though classes will be taught sequentially, people can come and drop in at any time.
Feel free to include this notice in your parish bulletin or pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. Please write if you have further questions.
