We are looking for singers of all parts who are interested in singing Gregorian chant, hymns and polyphony. All levels of musical experience are welcome, though you do need to be able to carry a tune! I (Skylar Covich) joined the choir in 2016. While most of the members today are different people than when I started, the choir has always been a very strong and welcoming community that I am proud to be a part of, and I have learned a lot about the treasury of sacred music. Because of a visual impairment, I found a way to learn Chant by ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>If interested, email latin.mass.smm@gmail.com or the Contact form on this blog, and we can set up a meeting with the choir director, Scott Blackwood.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166064105001967137.post-47673196212102220632023-03-27T10:59:00.002-07:002023-03-27T10:59:34.470-07:00Easter Sunday mass<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The Traditional Latin

He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom He said: "These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives.

The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy." </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her: "On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy ...
