Yes,  Richard.  to me his name looks like it should be pronounced  "Prowlex"
 
It's Pruuu.  At least that's the way he wants it.
 
Some of his "Community Mass" is in TEC '82 Hymnal.  The local
Procathedral at one point printed up pew cards with the Mass Ordinary
for easy use, but the old low-church hardliners objected because it
used the word, "Mass."  They had to be withdrawn, even though  the
hymnal version is used without problem.
 
Proulx was on the '82 Hymnal Committee, even though he is a 
Roman Catholic, and long time O/C of Chicago's RC Holy Name
Cathedral.
 
He gained a sort of fame by appealing to the national church music
community (successfully) to help him out with coronary bypass surgery
expenses.  Apparently the Archdiocese of Chicago had a cheapo
medical policy that didn't cover the expense.
