South Shore Gregorian Chant Schola | ||
 | ||
 Many thanks to John Salisbury from the Schola Amicorum at Holy Cross Cathedral who lead the schola for the feast of Corpus Christi, and to Fr. Worthley for making possible this celebration of the Lord's gift of the Blessed Sacrament and the opportunity to participate in a traditional Corpus Christi procession. A YouTube video has been created of the procession and is embedded here:  Ever since Pope Benedict XVI made celebration of the Holy Mass according to the older liturgical books more widely available to priests and people through his Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum many churches have begun celebrating Mass according to the extradordinary form of the Roman Rite. Here on the South Shore of Massachusetts, there are regular celebrations at Sacred Heart Church in Middleboro and at the Chapel of Our Savior in Brockton. On the North Shore and in Boston there are several other parishes, which you can view at the web site Latin Mass Community North. However, at present there are not enough people who are able to sing chant to form choirs for all the churches now offering the Mass in Latin according to the older Liturgical books. Even though the music of the Graduale Romanum is still the preferred music to be used in the ordinary form of the Roman Rite, it has been little used for the past 40 years.  Across the U.S.A., there has been a growing appreciation for Gregorian chant, the sung prayer of the Church, and week-long classes and weekend chant intensives are offered several times per year. I wanted to do my part, having sung for several years part-time with the Schola Amicorum, now resident at Holy Cross Cathedral in Boston, and teach what I've learned. With the gracious offer of space in their chapel by the Atonement Friars who staff the Chapel of Our Savior in Brockton, we began classes on October 31, All Hallows Eve.
