A Poem For The Saint John Cantius Society
published 18 February 2011 by Dr. Ronda Chervin

Dear readers,

Here at Holy Apostles College and Seminary where I teach we have the wonderful John Cantius Society seminarians training a choir for daily Mass. Here is a little “poem” I wrote, as a tribute to them, about listening to their Latin Chant one early morning:

Sheltered in the chamber of our Church
Your voices echoing centuries of faith, hope, and love,
I feel saved and safe.

Thank you, dear brethren.

You might want to read more about the John Cantius Society on their web and about Holy Apostles – a late vocation seminary. We have men of all ages and former occupations and nationalities from Cuban to Vietnamese to Lebanese, and many other backgrounds.

When I was a little girl the United Nations started to such joy and hope. Now I like to say that the Church is the true U.N.

Shalom, Dr. Ronda
