Today, I will be blessed to attend a solemn vespers, profession of vows, and solemn high mass at the parish of St. John Cantius. The feast has layered meaning for them, as their brothers make professions of varying degrees, and it is also the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. It is also Fr. Phillips' 20th anniversary of being at this parish! I do not get to sing in the solemn high mass for this, but I will still very much enjoy internally participating in the music from the pews. I wanted to share the rundown of the music that will be done tonight. I hope to talk to the director after mass, who said he would be interested in auditioning me for the St. Cecilia choir, which is the one that will be singing tonight. There are even recordings of them for sale on the cantius website.

Oh, I could have met you!
I was at Vespers, (not Mass, had to work.)
I was so thrilled for all the brothers making profession. (Br. Jonathon had sung one of the lessons or prophecies, can't recall which, at a Mass at the CMAA colloquium at Loyola, probably as well as scripture can be sung.)
I am just so pleased, so hopeful for the Church in our time when I look at what Fr Phillips has accomplished there.
Hope your audition goes well, as well as your discernment regarding where you are going.
