Thanksgiving Blessings
We are so blessed in our parish with a pastor who loves beauty. Since last year we've been having more High Masses with simple Gregorian chant, about once a month, and over the course of a year, I can hear and feel the difference. We are getting better, more expressive, though we have a long way to go singing like the Benedictine or Dominican monks. Here are some pictures before and after Mass this past Friday celebrating the Feast of St. Cecelia, patron of musicians and the 10th anniversary of ordination of a visiting priest. We had FIVE priests, one deacon, and our Altar boys, yet still an intimate affair. So beautiful. We had a lovely reception afterwards and I brought home these flowers to enjoy. A very Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving to you and all yours.
