So Mark P., … how far from Maryland would I have to drive to hear Mass at your parish?
I’m Hiring.
Want to do some of this next year in California? Anybody out there want to work with a singing presider?
Father Keyes,
EVERYbody wants to work with a singing presider!
Otherwise, we are just kicking our spurs into a rightfully resentful congregation and choir.
To Jenny:
I’m afraid it would be a long trip to Los Angeles.
Hey, Mr. Mark P.,
Do you mind letting us know which LA parish? A few years ago, when I last lived in LA, I frequented St. Cyril of Jerusalem in Encino. Very fine music. Sure beat the few other valley parishes I got to.
Occasionally went to St. Monica’s (Santa Monica) due to in-laws that were members there.
Very outside shot at getting a job back in greater Lost Angeles, so who knows?
Forgot to mention that the Thompson
Alleluia is a great choice!
Hey! That sounds like most of what we did, except that we were using the Missa de Angelis for a bunch of it. I go to an Anglican Use Catholic Church in Texas. You are always welcome to visit us if you are in the DFW area.
“Occasionally went to St. Monica’s (Santa Monica)”
May I say, “Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh!”?
St. Monica’s is the only church where I’ve ever left Mass because of the noise level of the “music.”
I spent the entire Eucharistic Prayer with my hands over my ears.
Geri:
If you are dissatisfied with St. Monica’s, may I suggest a visit to St. Andrew Russian Catholic Church, at 538 Concord Avenue, El Segundo, CA. You could probably get a map and directions through Yahoo. You can get a schedule of events by calling (310) 322-1892.
For Great and Holy Week, the services from Lazarus Saturday and Palm Sunday through Pascha Vigil and Liturgy ran about 21 hours, and ranged from Byzantine, Kievan and Carpatho-Rusyn chant to multi-part Russian Choral music, 95% of which was all in English. It was all quite lovely.
Sorry I’ve not been making much comment during Lent, but I’ve been attempting to honor AAE’s discipline of not posting during Great Lent. But now that we are celebrating Pascha and Bright Week, to paraphrase the little girl in the motion picture, “Poltergeist”, “I’m back”.
Thank you, Bernard, if I am ever in the Los Angeles area again, I shall.
My husabnd is an actor and while he was touring we lived in Los Feliz for 6 months. I credit the stay with his conversion to Catholicism.
We attended a great variety of Catholic churches on Sundays, and though we at first, from time to time, would attend a Protestant service in addition to Mass, churches like “Hollywood Pres” convinced him that he was more happy just attending Mass with me.
We most frequently went to Charles Borromeo (fine music,) although I dragged him to one magnificent Divine Liturgy at a Ukrainian Catholic church (“Wouldn’t you know?” he said, “best sermon I’ve heard my whole stay in california and it wasn’t in a language I could understand a word of!!@#?$?!”)
Then, history buff that he was, he decided visiting the missions on our days off would be fun.
At the museum attached to one, I explained the purpose of a monstrance, and when he admitted he didn’t know what the denomination he had grown up in taught about the presence of Christ in the Eucharist, he decided he needed to learn more about it, one thing led to another, and this vigil he celebrated his fourth year as a Catholic.
So I shall always have a warm spot in my heart for the Catholic churches of southern California (even the grotesquely noisy St Monicas!)
To Gregg:
Yes, it’s St. Cyril’s, Encino.
Hi, I know this is a couple months off, but I found this site from a google search. I am looking for a parish in the SoCal, LA/Inland area which has a Triduum/Easter Vigil mass that I can be proud as a Catholic to attend. I prefer to attend Novus Ordo and although I personally love the Eastern Rites, I am not sure if my convert wife is ready for that yet.
I’m looking for something that can hold a candle to the wonderful Liturgy that the Dominican House of Studies in Washington DC has on their Easter Vigil.
Please feel free to email me directly. I want to get a nice head start on the search so that I can make an informed decision as to where to celebrate my Easter Vigil.
I want to avoid parished that use OCP for their music and liturgy planning, and I prefer a mass that does not attempt to be multi-cultural or bilingual. English will suffice for me.
your help is appreciated! God bless!
Glenn
