The Recovering Choir Director

Via Fr. Zuhlsdorf:

I had this nice piece of news in my mailbox today:

His Eminence Edward Card. Egan, Archbishop Emeritus of New York, accepted the invitation of the Agnus Dei Council of the Knights of Columbus in New York City to celebrate a Solemn Pontifical Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite — a Mass for Life — on 25 March 2010, the Feast of the Annunciation.  The Council’s annual Mass for Life emphasizes the special link between the Incarnation of Jesus from the moment of conception in the womb at the Annunciation and Catholic Pro-Life Values.  More information about the location and time of the Mass will be released shortly.

In the comment box, I wrote: “Kudos to all responsible for scheduling a solemn liturgy on a holy day that makes so much sense to elevate in our times, at least on a de facto basis. I’ll be there in spirit.”
