Solemnity of Jesus Christ,
King of the Universe
Hello there POTHE!
I'll get right to it. This weekend we celebrate a Solemnity. Bigger than an Ordinary Time weekend. And more elevated than a Feast. Well now. That's something. What a way to end the liturgical Church year before beginning anew with the 1st Sunday of Advent. Thank you Pope Pius XI!

Each week I search the best of the internet for sacred choral music that aligns with the Weekend's scripture readings and post several selections on our website at Choral Music Worth Hearing.
I'll let the text of the chorus and the registration of the organ speak for themselves. More choral offerings posted at the above link.
This is where I spend some time, most every week, talking further about music at Mass, expounding on sacred music, updating Covid-19 developments as they relate to congregate church worship and helping you on your journey of faith through the medium of music. Comments welcome and encouraged! Enjoy!
Here you'll be taken to the Parish Music Webpage where you'll find links to our worship aids, information on our substantial and varied church music programs (youth through adult) and other resources to help you worship fully, actively and consciously.
Christ “reign[s] ‘in the hearts of men,’ both by reason of the keenness of his intellect and the extent of his knowledge, and also because he is very truth, and it is from him that truth must be obediently received by all mankind."
Should you have any questions or concerns, or ideas on how we can further assist your musical participation, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,
Jen Runge
Director of Music Ministries, POTHE
