Catholic Artists Society: Annual Mass for Artists

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

197A3969

The Catholic Artists Society succeeded in filling the basilica of St Patrick’s old Cathedral for their annual mass – a Solemn High Mass in the Extraordinary Form offered fro the intentions of the members of the Catholic Artists Society and for the salvation of all artists.

Fr. Brian Taylor was the celebrant and the pastor of St. Patrick’s, Msgr Donald Sakano, preached. Msgr Sakano described the refounding of art under the New Covenant which succeeded the banning of graven images in the Old; and the prominent role of the image of the Good Shepherd in early Christian art – this Sunday being Good Shepherd Sunday in the EF.

Jared Lamenzo was organist and choirmaster; Joshua Smith was director. The music included the Berliner Messe of Arvo Part as well as works by Perotin, Alain, Hassler and Distler. Obviously the basilica’s magnificent Henry Erben organ was used to great advantage.
