"For me, prayer is an upward leap of the heart, an untroubled glance towards heaven, a cry of gratitude and love which I utter from the depths of sorrow as well as from the heights of joy.” – Saint Thérèse of Lisieux

St. Jerome used his extensive linguistic knowledge to create a translation of the Bible called the Vulgate. Using the “vulgar” (everyday) Latin, the translation made the Bible more accessible to common people. The Vulgate became the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church and was used for over a millennium. https://www.nationalshrine.org/blog/who-translated-the-vulgate/

This past weekend, musicians from the Basilica were honored to take part in the Beatification of Fr. Michael McGivney, parish priest and founder of the Knights of Columbus. We provided music for a prayer vigil for priests and a Mass of Thanksgiving at St. Mary’s in New Haven, and joined forces with a schola from the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford for the Beatification Mass. We are so grateful to the Knights of Columbus and to the Archdiocese of Hartford for inviting us.
Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!
