I hope everyone's summer transitions have been going well thus far. Making plans for giving this site over to Nathan Cross, SjV's new Music Director, or he'll make a new one. And also handing over the email address as well, even though he can be reached through his school address at [email protected]. Blessings to you all and continued prayers as we build the kingdom of God no matter where we are or who we are with! ~ Ely Costello

Two great feasts are coming to end the Easter season: Ascension and Pentecost! We celebrate the last of our 50 days of Easter and the coming of the gift of the Holy Spirit. Ascension is a liturgy we always hear the last of our great Easter tunes and this year, at Pentecost, we are singing beautiful NEW songs from the Breaking Bread. The next posts are links to hear what's coming and to listen and pray at your leisure. A continued Happy Easter to one and all!

Preparing for Lent and praying for the courage to continue to do for others as Christ asks...as hard as life has become in this new normal after a pandemic and finding light through rising food prices, fluctuating gas prices and the like - God, we trust in You and know there is a peace after the storm. We take up our cross and follow him with strength that only Christ can give...

New music is so great to find and listen to and imagine...can this speak to my assembly? Is this something they can internalize, pray and sing to encounter Christ?

This song from renowned artist Sarah Hart explores the beauty and healing in the Eucharist. Let us unite in Christ's name, as we remember his great sacrifice...

Lent filled the piano and floor to put into choir folders...so much beauty here waiting to be prayed through song with our Vianney Chorale! Can't wait to start preparing next Sunday, Jan 22 (correction from previous post)....thank God I have one more week to get ready.

Looking through so much music to make plans all the way past Easter and came across this gem...It's been haunting my thoughts and prayers...it's so beautiful. Fr Michael Joncas was a professor of mine at The University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN and his texts are full of such depth. I hope you can use this for your Lenten reflections this year, as I will.
