From Sister Bernadette, Sisters of Our Lady Immaculate: “I thought that you might like to know what Sister Marguerite and I like to read on our day off!”

Seminarian Scholarships in your hands

Because of your generosity, ten seminarians have received full scholarships to attend the Fall Pilgrimage: Gregorian Chant at the National Shrine. What this portends for the future of sacred music in our country is mind boggling — and beyond anything that could have been imagined ten, five, or even two years ago. The future is indeed a bright one.

But we still need more help. If you are planning on registering before the deadline of September 14 (this coming Monday), please considering adding and extra $10, $20, or $50 to your donation.

Book Signing Before Pilgrimage

On Thursday, September 24, 2009, Jeffrey Tucker, managing editor of Sacred Music, will be at the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., 6-7:30pm. He will give a talk and sign copies of Sing Like a Catholic.

His general theme concerns the desperate need for a unifying and universal music voice in liturgy for all Catholics to call their own.

Judging from the outstanding response to the Chant Pilgrimage that starts the following day, the Washington, D.C., area seems to be a hotbed of progress in the area of liturgical music.

Scholarships for Seminarians

A good number of people have responded favorably to our request for donations to help seminarians attend the CMAA Fall Pilgrimage coming up in September at the National Shrine. People have added ten or twenty dollars, and in some case, even more to their own payments in order to make it possible for seminarians to attend this milestone event. If you are or know a seminarian who would like attend but might need a little help covering tuition, please write to us at programs@musicasacra.com.
