Tonight! Come see an amazing cast, and hear some Victoria, Ingegneri, Michael O'Connor, Lotti, and of course Mozart!

Today the Sunday Schola sang a ca****la at Communion for about five minutes AND kept pitch. Polyphony and chant. I was pretty proud of them.

How unfortunate! Rest in peace.

It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Fr. James Chepponis.

A composer of many beloved sacred works, Chepponis served the Pittsburgh diocese and his work included providing music for diocesan liturgies, directing the Diocesan Choir, coordinating the Pittsburgh chapter for the National Association of Pastoral Musicians and the Director of Music Ministries Division, and serving as music resource person for parishes throughout the Pittsburgh Diocese.

Eternal rest be granted unto Fr. Jim, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.

IT WORKS! After a VERY long time of not working, last week my home practice organ finally came back to life! Many thanks to Jason Rodgers at Church Organ Solutions for his patient diligence and expertise!! Thank you! 🙏 🎵

'Twas a great seminary music director's conference! Thank you to Dr. Jennifer Donelson-Nowicka for putting this together and to Zachary Turner for hosting us.
See y'all in Baltimore next year!
