Canons Regular of St. John Cantius

The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius is a religious community of men dedicated to the restoration of the sacred. The members of the Canons Regular of St.

John Cantius seek personal sanctity by imitating Christ in radical opposition to the values of this world. They wish to “Restore the Sacred” in the Church, in the world and in their own lives in pursuit not only of their own sanctification, but also the salvation and sanctification of all. John Cantius’ mission, in the context of parish ministry, is to help Catholics rediscover a profound sense of

the sacred through solemn liturgies, devotions, sacred art, sacred music, as well as instruction in Church heritage, catechetics, and Catholic culture. John Cantius currently staff three parishes:

St. John Cantius Church in Chicago, IL
St. Peter Church in Volo, IL
St. Katherine Drexel Parish in Springfield, IL

Chants of the Church Year - Palm Sunday/Holy Week - Christus Factus Est

This chant, which is taken from one of the most ancient Christian hymns as recorded by St. Paul, reflects the entire Paschal Mystery: Christ's suffering, death and resurrection.

Today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.

On this day, the Angel Gabriel appeared to the Blessed Virgin Mary, announcing that she had been chosen to become the Mother of God. Through her humble “yes,” the Word was made flesh, and our salvation began.

May we imitate Our Lady’s faith and openness to God’s will in our own lives.

The mode of the Introit perfectly mirrors the text from Ps 42: a prayer for deliverance from evil, made with the quiet serenity of one who has complete confidence in God.

Chants of the Church Year - 4th Sunday of Lent - Introit: Laetare

The word Laetare (rejoice) calls to mind mother Church, rejoicing in the Catechumens, soon to be reborn from the womb of her baptismal font. The notes from this Introit echo the Song of Gladness that will ring out again at the Great Easter Vigil.
