We Benedictines have long been known for our work of liturgical renewal. I am very pleased that a Benedictine abbey and university is hosting a National Catholic Youth Choir. This group of young people singing Gregorian chant, Palestrina, Mozart, and contemporary liturgical music at worship and in concert will be a sign of hope to us all that the Catholic faith continues to be vibrantly alive in the hearts of young people. My prayers are with the National Catholic Youth Choir in its work of being a musical ambassador for the church! |

The premise of the question "Why can't Catholics sing?" is happily undermined by the efforts of the National Catholic Youth Choir. Retrieving the best from the Catholic past, nurturing its imaginative extension into the future, and presenting it all with joy and craft, this program exemplifies service to a living tradition and deserves widespread support. |
