Bishop Perry at Prince of Peace Catholic Church

Andrew Leung · December 30, 2015

CTL POP Gaudete Confirmation HIS MASS HAPPENED a few weeks ago but it was brought to my attention recently. Bishop Joseph Perry, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago, administered the Sacrament of Confirmation and celebrated a Pontifical Solemn High Mass at the Faldstool on Gaudete Sunday, Third Sunday of Advent. He was invited and assisted by Fr. Christopher Smith, who is the pastor of Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Taylors, SC, and a contributor on Chant Café.

When I was living in Georgia, I had the privilege to visit this parish a few times. They are known for their orthodoxy on the Church’s teachings, especially the teachings on the Liturgy and Sacred Music. Below are some pictures from the Mass and more can be viewed or purchase at this website.

Quick Thoughts

    PDF • “For the Season of Pentecost”
    During the season of Pentecost, you might consider using this 2-page Piece “for the season of Pentecost.” Rehearsal videos are available at #40691, but the lyrics are different. Therefore, make sure your choir members understand that one can rehearse songs that have different lyrics (“CONTRAFACT”).
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Introit • (This Coming Sunday)
    Our volunteer choir appreciates training videos, so here's my attempt at recording “Exáudi Dómine Vocem Meam,” which is the INTROIT for this coming Sunday. This coming Sunday is Dominica Post Ascensionem (“Sunday after the feast of the Ascension”). It is sung according to the official rhythm of the Catholic Church.
    —Jeff Ostrowski
    Volunteer Choir Attempts “Kýrie Eléison”
    My volunteer choir attempted the polyphonic KYRIE that will be sung at this year's Sacred Music Symposium. If you're interested, you can listen to the live recording from last Sunday. The piece is based on the ancient plainchant hymn melody: Ave Maris Stella. Polyphony like this is truly intricate and wonderful. It reminds me of the quote by Artur Schnabel: “music that's greater than it can be performed.”
    —Jeff Ostrowski

Random Quote

“For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders”—is that English idiom? “For the Nazis, and all the Germans, except they say Heil Hitler! meet not in the street, holding their lives valuable”—is that English idiom?
