Solemn Requiem At St. Vincent Ferrer Church, New York

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

Monday evening at St Vincent Ferrer: a Solemn Requiem in the Dominican rite – accompanied by Mozart’s requiem directed by James Wetzel. The combination of ceremonial, music and the Gothic splendor of this church, vast and mysterious in the semi-darkness, left a unique impression in this month of prayer for the dead. It was not a mere concert but a profoundly spiritual experience.

A large congregation occupied almost the entire center nave of this huge church. And afterwards many stayed and gathered downstairs for the festive reception. Our thanks to the Dominicans of this parish and of New York who made possible this liturgy as as to the many involved in making this evening such a success in every respect.
