Congratulations to our newly Baptized and Confirmed!
Congratulations to our newest members. Mitch Brumfield and Laura Sarzaba were Baptized at the Easter Vigil on April 16, 2022. We also welcomed Joana Castro, Richard Pasquin, Katherine Margaret Cullen and Anna John Robert who received Confirmation with them. It is a great joy for us to welcome these newest members who have heard the call of Christ and set their feet firmly on the path of discipleship.
Here are some highlights from our Easter vigil:
Adult Education course: Religious Accompaniments to Prayer
RELIGIOUS ACCOMPANIMENTS TO PRAYER: AN INTRODUCTION
This seminar will offer an overview of religiously inspired supplements to prayer life in Christianity and other faith traditions from the ancient world to contemporary society. St. Jerome’s treatise, as requested by St. Fabiola, on the high priest Aaron’s breastplate of 12 gemstones, the rosary, scapulars, prayer beads, religious attire worn, and the symbolism of specific colors and fabrics will be explored. There will also be a member of the secular Carmelites who will speak about her wearing of the scapular and how it enhances her prayer life.
An optional museum visit will be scheduled at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World or the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Date of the visit will be announced the day of the seminar.

THE MASS AND ITS MUSIC
The course explores the structure of the Roman Mass, the role of music in faith formation, the major reforms in the Church’s history: their cause, the reforms.
Participants will also explore controversies surrounding liturgical music and provides an historical context for the musical changes in the Church following the Second Vatican Council
The course will also examine the music of the Catholic Church from an historical and artistic perspective. It will examine some of the issues that have surrounded major changes in the Church’s music, such as the role of music in faith formation. Its historical content will be organized around three historical periods in which the Church was significantly focused on musical developments or changes:
- the Carolingian Renaissance and the development of Gregorian chant,
- The Ars Nova and the beginnings of polyphony
- the reforms of the Council of Trent
