Photos from St. John Cantius on Easter Sunday

I received an email from Br. Joshua Caswell, SJC with links to photos taken during Holy Week and on Easter Sunday. If you want to see some real, liturgical eye-candy, take a look. Below are just two of the many photos from Easter Sunday. Note as you go through the photos the relative age of those in attendance. My observation is that wherever we see these classical, traditional liturgies, we find young people and big families.

St. John Cantius is in Chicago, so if you are visiting or passing through, go to Mass there!!! They celebrate ordinary and extraordinary forms. Consult their schedule.

At the pulpit in the lower left corner in the photo below is Fr. Frank Phillips, the founder and superior of the Order of Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. Fr. Phillips will be in Detroit to speak at the Call to Holiness on October. 13, 2012. Save the date.

Assumption Grotto has one member pursuing his vocation with the Cantians: Br. Matthew Schuster. Please keep him and all seminarians in your prayers.

Interesting interview on organ project at St. John Cantius in Chicago

I am back from my silent retreat which was held in Chicago and offered prayers for you, my readers. I regret that, once again, while in Chicago I did not have time to visit St. John Cantius. I want to stop in on a weekend when I can take in several Masses and hear the various choirs.

Those interested in the comeback of classical sacred music in the Mass will want to watch this video out of St. John Cantius in Chicago. You will get some behind the scenes look at what is involved with pipe organs in general and, some history about certain pipe organs. Of course, they are embarking on a project which you might consider supporting in whatever way possible. Whether you can help or not, the video is interesting.

Noteworthy, is that Assumption Grotto has one seminarian with the community at St. John Cantius. Brother Matthew is the tall one below in the center, looking on as Fr. David Bechill was ordained at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral in Detroit this past September 14. He was visiting when he learned of the ordination and came to offer prayers.
