I cannot believe how quickly the month of May has passed by! Throughout the past few weeks we‘ve witnessed many wonderful events in the lives of our children — Confirmation, First Communion, and the lovely May Crowning, all of which will conclude with graduation this week.

You may have also noticed that the musical setting of the Mass parts has been changed. For the past six

I apologize for not writing an article this past week. The music program has been very busy and very blessed these last two weeks. I extend sincere thanks to Britt Cooper and the Walsh University Chamber singers for singing at the 11am Mass on May 6. I thoroughly enjoyed working with them in putting together such a beautiful liturgy.

Message from the Music Director 04/15/12

I hope everyone had a wonderful and blessed Easter last week. On this Second Sunday of Easter, the church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday. In the readings, we begin to hear the beautiful stories of the time after the Resurrection of Christ. Today we are singing the chant, O Filii et Filiae. This chant, dating from the fifteenth century, is the source material for the Alleluia used at the gospel acclamation in our hymnal. It has also been used by numerous composers in choral, solo vocal, orchestral, and keyboard works for the past five hundred years.

Message from the Music Director 04/08/12

I would like to wish everyone a very happy and blessed Easter. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Sacred Triduum this past week. So many people worked so hard to make all of these beautiful liturgies possible. This morning, we are singing the sequence, ‘Victimae Paschali Laudes’ after the second reading. Sequences and tropes were poetic commentary on the Propers of the Mass. ‘Victimae Paschali Laudes’ dates from the eleventh century, which was a transitional period between two styles of sequence.
