FROM THE RECTOR
It's been a long time since the last Sunday when the full Schola Cantorum sang at a Sunday Mass on May 29th. We are looking forward with great anticipation to their return next Sunday on October 2nd. In the meantime, at Coffee Hour this Sunday -- hosted by the Our Lady of Providence Ward of the Society of Mary -- James Busby will lead us in practicing a new (old) congregational sung setting of the Nicene Creed (from the Missa de Angelis). This setting of the Creed was in use many years ago at S. Stephen's and it's time to reintroduce it. This will be fun. Please join us if you're able. -- Fr. John D. Alexander
