The Poughkeepsie Latin School
The Poughkeepsie Latin School is an academy -- founded and operated by the Latin Mass Society of the Hudson Valley, and hosted by Holy Trinity Parish, Poughkeepsie -- whose mission is to enhance the capacity of the Catholic faithful to participate fruitfully in traditional Latin Catholic liturgy.
WHEN Fall 2023 Semester Starts on SEPTEMBER 20, 2023 Classes are Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m.
WHERE Holy Trinity Church, 775 Main Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603 (Mestice Hall ~ Underneath Church, left side)
PROGRAM OF INSTRUCTION
The Wednesday evening sessions in Mestice Hall will be devoted exclusively to instruction in Latin grammar and Church Latin. As we grow together in our knowledge of Latin vocabulary and grammar we will be learning prayers, hymns, scripture and parts of the Mass in Latin.
The musical component of the Latin School has crystallized in a Gregorian Chant "Schola" (choir) serving Holy Trinity parish. We sing Gregorian Chant for Holy Mass and Divine Office
(e.g., Vespers and Compline) at the parish. We meet to rehearse as needed. Anyone wishing to learn Gregorian Chant is welcome to audition for the Schola.
NOTA BENE: The Fall 2023 session of the Latin School will be a course in intermediate Latin for which some prior study of Latin is prerequisite. To accommodate beginners in Latin study who would like to join the class, we will be holding some preparatory sessions. If you are interested, please let us know via email ~ latinmasshv@gmail.com ~ and we will make arrangements.
TUITION
