 Caritas Chamber Chorale presents Grace Abides
for African Mission School Caritas Chamber Chorale will present a series of concerts of sacred music for the benefit of Adorno Fathers’ African Mission, entitled Grace Abides. In the quest to recognize and welcome grace, this all a cappella program centers on the holy act of worship. The luminous Palestrina Missa Brevis, complemented by choral works by more modern composers such as Bruckner and Arnesen, opens for us a pathway to grace. The Missa Brevis forms the framework for the program, with each movement followed by a contemporary choral piece. The pairing of the ancient texts and music with modern words and tonalities is intended to inspire a unique awareness of the depth of grace found in prayer and music combined – no matter the era. Completing the program, Caritas Composer in Residence, Wayne Dietterick’s new arrangement of Amazing Grace allows us to recognize grace, not only in our worship, but all around us. Dr. Mark A. Boyle serves as collaborator and guest conductor for these concerts. Boyle is Director of Choral and Vocal Activities at Seton Hill University, Greensburg, PA and has been a presenter for several Caritas choir retreats. He is also an active tenor, poet, and composer, whose works are regularly performed. The concert will be presented:

Next meeting: June 23 following the 10:00 service Our new book will be, "All the Light We Cannot See," by Anthony Doerr. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the book describes a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France. Maurie-Laure and her father have fled the Nazis to hide in a walled citadel in Saint Malo. Werner Pfennig is a German boy fascinated with a crude radio he and his book sister have found. Because he is able to repair this instrument, he is enlisted by the Germans to help track down the Resistance.
I have reserved the book kit and will be able to place copies in the Narthex this Saturday. Our next meeting is scheduled for Sunday, June 23, following the 10 am service. Enjoy!
