Communion anthem: “Jesus went down with them, and came to Nazareth and was subject to them.”

It’s incorrect to say new Churches must be constructed with table altars.

“Here lies He in the manger, alleluia, Who reigns without end, alleluia, alleluia.”

A snippet caught by a generous alto at Candle-lit Mass in Hollywood.
Several singers shown here helped record the Watershed polyphonic rehearsal videos.

I forgot something important…

This video sharply condemns the choir’s previous director…a dangerous game.

Especially suited for the Ordinary Form—and did you spot the invertible counterpoint?

“Look with favor, we beseech Thee, O Lord upon these offerings here before Thee…”

…Victoria lives, thanks to fine youngsters such as these!

Including a video snippet taken in Los Angeles.

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.”

When I print this entire booklet, the Communion inexplicably erases every clivis in the psalmody.

Good people really do exist.
