EXTRAORDINARY FORM VESPERS!!! TO BE CHANTED THIS SATURDAY, APR 11 @ 6PM on FACEBOOK OF ST. PATRICK'S GREGORIAN CHOIR
Hello everyone,
A special opportunity is being presented to the faithful of the Church online, via my good friends of St. Patrick's Gregorian Choir.
St. Patrick's Gregorian Choir (SPGC), normally chants the Gregorian Chants/Propers for the Saturday 5pm Novus Ordo Masses of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Toronto, run by the Redemptorist Fathers, located downtown Toronto @ 131 McCaul St (Closest subway is St. Patrick's on TTC, intersection is University and Dundas St. W.)
However, due to the public gathering ban in Ontario, which limits gatherings to 5 people, as well as orders from ++ Collins that all churches in the Archdiocese of Toronto are closed to the public (w/exception to privately arranged confession via appointment, for those parishes willing to do so,) Surinder Mundra, SPGC choirmaster, has moved choir practice online!
The choir is active via its Facebook page doing live-streaming, and is providing a unique opportunity for everyone, (including myself, who normally altar serves and does NOT do the choir side of things,) to participate in their practices !!! The Facebook link is below.
Facebook for SPGC: https://www.facebook.com/saintpatricksgregorianchoir/
I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR YOUTUBE CHANNEL. IF THEY GET 1000 SUBSCRIBERS THEY WILL BE GRANTED FREE ACCESS TO LIVESTREAM ON THAT PLATFORM!!!!
The usual time for their online streaming is 6:30PM EST on Saturdays for regular practices, on the Facebook page above. However, extra occasional opportunities may be streamed at different times than usual, and other days ... and one is presenting itself.
This opporunity (of which I was personally asked to assist in helping put together,) is that the SPGC will be doing EXTRAORDINARY FORM/LATIN MASS VESPERS FOR HOLY SATURDAY!
The practice for the EF Vespers will be live-streamed on the SPGC Facebook page today, Friday Apr 10, 2020 @ 7pm, and the actual vespers will be chanted Tomorrow, Saturday, Apr 11, 2020 @ 6pm. The event page for the Vespers is below:
The chant pages have been uploaded to the Facebook event for the Vespers above. Because FB won't allow for word doc attachment directly, they are attached as screen captures in .jpeg format.
I hope you will enjoy and be uplifted by this extra opportunity being provided by the choir, and that this will be a great consolation and spiritual food in this time of COVID-19.
Pax Tibi Christi, Julian Barkin.
