St. Edward's Feast
Yesterday we continued to observe the feast of St. Edward begun last Sunday. The celebration continues through the 22nd with the parish Feast. It is Edward's 1000th birthday, and it is the parish 125th anniversary.
We held a solemn vespers. Sam was the organist who was also celebrating a significant birthday.
It was the first appearance of our new children's choir, and they sounded delightful.
The delight for me was the experience of the first psalm, intoned by the children. The cantor was Dan Harris whom I have known for over 20 years. He is probably one of the best cantors have ever heard. Every word was crystal clear. The choir took the second half of each verse. The choir was in good form, too.
It was prayerful. It was simple, and simply beautiful.
We are going to have to have more experiences like this.

It sounds wonderful. I wish I could have been there. Dan Harris is my absolute favorite cantor in the whole world! May God continue to bless the people of St. Edward Parish.
