The first Alpha meeting of the summer kicks off in less than two weeks. Who is the Holy Spirit placing on your heart? Challenge yourself to be obedient to the Holy Spirit, and invite that person. It could be as simple as saying, “Hey, I’m going to this thing called Alpha on June 29. It’s a free dinner and a group discussion about life questions and faith. Would you join me?”

Very excited that our Director of Music, Dr. Christopher Holman, will be a guest on Radio Maria United Kingdom tomorrow talking about sacred music and the choir tour! We will share the interview when it is available.

POV: You hear beautiful Catholic choir music once and suddenly you’re wondering why every parish doesn’t have it. 😄

This week, Fr Toby and Fr Matthew Jarvis OP are joined by Dr Christopher Holman, Director of Music at St Gertrude’s, Cincinnati.

They discuss sacred music, directing a schola, and his choir’s recent visit to England.

From simple chant to rich polyphony, sacred music has lifted hearts and minds to God for centuries. Join us for a fascinating conversation about the beauty and importance of music in the Church.
