Corpus Christi is Coming on May 25, 2008
This is one of my favorite feasts because I love a parade! And I love St. Thomas Aquinas as well.
And this year I'm happy to announce that the St. Augustine Schola Cantorae will be there. We've only been together a short time, but we're intrepid. The Schola will be assisting the Cathedral-Basilica of St. Augustine's music ministry with chants during the 11 a.m. Mass. After this Mass, there will be a Eucharistic procession (and yes, we'll be there as well) around the historic plaza in St. Augustine, followed by Adoration until 5 p.m. And then Benediction.
Over in the Bishop Baker Center from 1 to 5 pm, there will also be a photo exhibit from the Vatican about Eucharistic miracles.
What a wonderful way to spend part of your Memorial Day weekend! If you're anywhere near, please come. If you're not, please pray for us.
All the best to your "intrepid" schola (I love that) with Corpus Christi. Maybe someone can videotape it for YouTube?
Thanks for visiting my blog today. God bless!

I envy you your Corpus Christi procession.
I love the Holy Day, too, one of my favorites.
But we're finally singing at least part of the chanted Sequence (alternating with verses a pretty well-known motet of
'Ecce Panis..." whose composer eludes me at present.)
Save the Liturgy, Save the World
