Tomorrow: Vespers sung by Viri Galilaei at St. Pius X Church

Posted by  

Viri Galilaei, an ensemble of Catholic men from the tristate area, are delighted to sing Vespers at 7 pm on Wednesday, August 21st at St. Pius X Church, Fairfield, CT. August 21st is the feast of St. Pius X in the new calendar, and St. Jane Frances de Chantal in the traditional calendar. Vespers is the evening prayer in the Divine Office of the Church, sung every night the world over. It consists of five psalms, a hymn, and the Magnificat, the canticle of Our Lady. Please join us!

A special thanks for Fathers Kachuba and Iannacone for hosting Viri Galilaei. We would not want to see this wonderful group disappear. They have done so much to promote the singing of chant at many churches in the area and up to now have sung vespers at St. Mary Norwalk every first Sunday of the month.

Above and below, recent photos of Viri Galilaei singing vespers at St. Mary’s Norwalk.
