Grazie alla benedizione e al sostegno di Sua Eminenza il Sig. Cardinale Angelo Scola, Arcivescovo di Milano, i preparativi di “Sacra Liturgia – Milano 6-9 Giugno 2017” procedono a ritmo serrato.

Presentations will take place in the Aula Magna of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan and will be simultaneously translated into Italian and English.

Un prestigiosissimo parterre di prelati e studiosi ha confermato la partecipazione, fra i quali Sua Eminenza il Sig. Cardinale Robert Sarah, Sua Eminenza il Sig.

Liturgical celebrations in both uses of the Ambrosian rite will take place at the historic Basilica of Saint Ambrose (adjacent to the University), in the Metropolitan Cathedral and in another church (tba). We are profoundly grateful to the authorities for welcoming Sacra Liturgia, and to His Eminence, Dionigi Cardinal Tettamanzi, for agreeing to celebrate solemn vespers for the opening of the conference.

Le funzioni liturgiche in entrambe le forme del Rito Ambrosiano verranno celebrate presso la Perinsigne Basilica di Sant’Ambrogio (adiacente all’Università), la Cattedrale Metropolitana e un’altra chiesa del centro cittadino. La nostra più profonda gratitudine va alle Autorità che ci hanno generosamente accolto, e a Sua Eminenza il Sig. Cardinale Dionigi Tettamanzi per avere acconsentito a celebrare i Vespri Solenni della conferenza d’apertura.

In addition to the conference presentations and liturgical celebrations, an afternoon of cultural visits is being planned so that delegates can benefit from some of Milan’s extraordinarily rich heritage such as the Bibliotheca Ambrosiana, the church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, etc.

Oltre al convegno e alle funzioni liturgiche, è in corso di pianificazione un pomeriggio di visite culturali studiato in modo che i delegati possano visitare alcuni luoghi parte dello straordinario patrimonio storico e culturale della città di Milano, fra cui la Biblioteca Ambrosiana, la chiesa di San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore, etc.

Rimangono inoltre aperte opportunità di sponsorizzazione per “Sacra Liturgia – Milano 2017” da parte di persone e aziende interessate. Saranno infine benvenuti i generosi contributi di benefattori che vorranno pagare borse di studio per la partecipazione di studenti, religiosi e sacerdoti desiderosi di partecipare, ma impossibilitati a versare l’intera quota di iscrizione.

Sacra Liturgia UK 2016 - Registration Update

His Eminence, Cardinal Ranjith, presenting
the keynote address at Sacra Liturgia 2013, Rome.

Those wishing to attend the London, July 5-8 conference full-time are asked to register as soon as possible - before Easter at the latest - so as to ensure their place. Given the interest thus far from delegates coming from approximately 10 countries throughout the world, and given the numbers who have attended the previous Rome and New York conferences, with a capacity of just under 250 in the auditorium at Imperial College we expect the London conference to be full if not oversubscribed.

After Easter, when the conference programme is published, we will open registrations to part-time participants (space permitting). Full-time registrations will remain open only as long as spaces remain. Tickets for the keynote address of Cardinal Sarah on the opening evening are expected to sell out as soon as they are available. Please register here as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
