'Music From The Vatican – Alma Mater' is the first release on Geffen Records of modern classical
music from the Choir of the Philharmonic Academy of Rome and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
The recording features prayers recited and sung in Italian, Portuguese, French, Latin and German by
Pope Benedict XVI recorded during His Marian pilgrimages by Vatican Radio.
Our choir, the Schola Cantorum, has been serving Saint Hilary Parish for the last fourteen years. We sing at the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Mass, throughout the Easter Triduum, Thanksgiving, Confirmation, Christmas, and we also perform a Lenten concert on Monday of Holy Week.
I warmly invite new members into our choir, so if you have musical abilities please contact me at the rectory office (435-1122, extension 117) and we can set up an appointment. Maybe you are in a high school or college orchestra or choir — this would be a good way to broaden your musical experience and also do a great service for Saint Hilary Parish!
So, think about it — it's a commitment — but it is for your home church, Saint Hilary.
Thank you,
Vincent Stadlin,
Director of Liturgy and Music
