The
Schola Cantorum
The
Schola Cantorum draws both upon the wealth of the Catholic tradition
of sacred music and the spirit of liturgical renewal and recovery that
characterized the activity of the Second Vatican Council. The Schola
Cantorum leads the congregation in hymns, responses, psalms, and spiritual
canticles. Moreover, the Schola Cantorum regularly sings
polyphonic and chant settings of the Ordinary of
the Mass, uniting our congregation with the choirs of angels and saints
throughout the centuries.
 During the
Sunday Office of
Vespers, through which
we offer praise to God, the Schola Cantorum sings some of the most
beautiful music of Christian culture, composed over the centuries for the
evening prayer of the Church. Following the sure guidance of the Schola,
everyone is invited to join with strong voice in the liturgy’s hymns,
psalms and responses.
The Schola Cantorum sings
for the 12:15 PM Solemn mass for Sundays and Solemnities and
for Sunday Vespers at 3:15 PM. Throughout the year, the
Schola Catorum sings for many other liturgies and concerts as well.
