Getting ready…

Hey everyone!

I’m excited we will be offering more opportunities to chant Vespers this season.  We will be at St. Monica’s on Sundays (Dec 2, 9, 16), and at St. Blaise on Wednesdays (Dec 5, 12) and for the O Antiphon days (Dec 17-23).  Visit the About page for the Church addresses.   A preparation class will be offered at 6:30, followed by Vespers at 7:30 (there will be no prep class on the O Antiphon days – I’m sure people will have the hang of it by then).

The only Latin we will encounter in the first week is the Pater Noster and the Marian Antiphon (Alma Redemptoris Mater).  Here are a few practice videos to help you brush up:

And for your listening/praying enjoyment: the Alma Redemptoris Mater by Palestrina:
