Congratulations, Fr. Hubert Coeurderoy!

Corpus Christi Watershed · July 2, 2013

ANY OF OUR READERS already know that the Second Edition of the Campion Missal will be available very soon. While we’re very excited about this, today we have something even more important to report. Rev. Fr. Hubert Coeurderoy, who greatly assisted with the Campion project (and appears in the Solemn Mass photographs), was recently ordained to the priesthood!

Click here to view hundreds of beautiful pictures of the ordination, which took place in Europe. The other European members of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter to be ordained were Fathers Charles Gauthey, André Hahn, Bertrand Lacroix, and Juan Tomás.

Believe it or not, Fr. Coeurderoy is actually related to the St. Antoine Daniel, one of Watershed’s patron saints.

26 January 2023 • FEEDBACK

“Jeff, I wanted to personally thank you for your spiritual witness at the Symposium & often blogs that you write too. Praying that prayer in the mornings My God, my Father and my all (by Cardinal Merry Del Val), mentioning saints’ stories of Brébeuf, Jogues, John Vianney, monks who fought in WWII, their hard work in spite of terrible conditions, their relentless zeal for the faith, their genuine love for the laypeople they served, etc. Overall though—more than anything concrete I can point to that you did or said—it was your demeanor at the Symposium. I could tell you really absolutely love and believe the Catholic Faith. You don’t get that everywhere, even in Church circles. And your humility is what then makes that shine even brighter. It is super inspiring! God is working through you probably way more than you know.”

Good Friday Polyphony by L. Senfl

The editor of the Sacred Music Magazine recently made available to the public this splendid article by our own Charles Weaver. It includes an edition of polyphony for the GOOD FRIDAY “Reproaches.” Renaissance composers often set the various offices of Holy Week; e.g. readers will probably be familiar with the beautiful TENEBRAE setting by Father Tomás Luis de Victoria (d. 1611). From what I can tell, Ludwig Senfl (d. 1543) was originally a Catholic priest, but eventually was seduced by Luther and ended up abandoning the sacred priesthood.
