The national effort for a Eucharistic Revival has been underway for over a year. At the heart of every effort is a desire to respond more fully to God's invitation. The same God who gives us life wants to nourish us for our human journey. We live in a world filled with joys and challenges. We must respond, but the path forward is often difficult and uncertain. God does not abandon those who call out to him. He responds to give us strength as we follow the narrow way, as we carry our crosses alongside Jesus. CLICK TO READ THE FULL LETTER.
Following a break for refreshments after the Rorate Caeli Mass on Saturday, December 16, please join me and our Schola Cantorum in the Tally Auditorium for an hour-long presentation on the origins of Gregorian Chant and how it influenced the development of music in Western Civilization.
