Gregorian Mass returns

St. Aloysius Catholic Church is once again offering a weekly Gregorian Mass. Beginning this weekend, the Mass will be offered at 5 p.m. each Sunday at the Jesuit House Chapel, located behind the church.

The entire Mass is sung and chanted. Some portions are sung in Latin, but the Mass is predominately in English. The Gregorian chant dates back to the time of Pope Gregory I and was widely used in the Roman Catholic Church.

St. Aloysius is located at 330 E. Boone on the edge of the Gonzaga University campus. (324-5896)

Rev. Robert Sirico lectures

“Economics and Christian Values: The Economic Thought of John Paul II” will be the topic of discussion at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday in The Jepson Center Auditorium on the Gonzaga University campus. The lecture will feature Rev. Robert Sirico, co-founder and president of the Action Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty.

The nonprofit organization wants to educate future religious leaders about the principles of free-market economics. Sirico has published and lectured internationally on ethical and economic issues.

The public lecture is free.

Sirico also will lecture on “Toward a Free and Virtuous Society” at noon Wednesday at the Shiloh Inn, 923 E. Third, as part of Spokane College Women’s Association March luncheon. Cost: 10.25. For reservations call 924-7806.
