TWO GREAT ARTICLES

Compliments of THE NEW LITURGICAL MOVEMENT:

First - the 10th Anniversary of Una Voce conference was held in Providence, and included Pontifical High Mass (1962 Missal) at my former parish, Holy Name. The music was praised in the review as "supurb musical accompaniment". I'm not surprised. Jacob Stott, my immediate successor, is very good. I posted a comment on Shawn's article stating that many pastors, upon my leaving, tend to hire someone who can "undo" what I've either done or tried to do. When I left Holy Name, however, Fr. Fisette did it different - he hired someone who could "keep it going". Jacob not only keeps it going, but he builds on it quite nicely. Holy Name is a parish that, although I no longer work there, I take great pride in! It's parishioners and music ministry are wonderful.

Second - Worshipping the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness - Fr. Jay Scott Newman, pastor of Saint Mary's in Greenville, SC, gives a great detail of how his parish became, and how your parish can become, the role model for Sacred Liturgy. Great for priests and laity alike that are involved in ministry. RECOMMENDED READING!!!
