St. Casimir. Many of the parishioners are beginning to
find new parish homes, so if you see some new faces,
please give your condolences and welcome them with
open arms.
I hope you are all well.
You are in my prayers. Fr. Karl Pung
Back to Normal?
When will we back to normal routines in the parish? I do
not know. I am tentatively hoping to resume Coffee and
Donuts in August, but we will see. We also have our
Parish Picnic planned for August 16th and will have to
play that by ear as well. I am looking forward to you
coming forward to communion at Mass, to again
distrusting the Precious Blood, to hugs and handshakes
from parishioners, and having meetings and classes
again. I wish I could give a solid date but there isn’t one.
I suspect at some point we will just start living our lives
again knowing the risks. For some, whenever we start
reducing restrictions it will be long overdue and for
others it will always be too soon. The decisions will be
made with prudence and discernment following the
directives and leadership of the diocese.
On a related note, every week I receive complaints or
criticisms about what I am and am not doing to keep
people safe, or am too restrictive and giving into fear. It
is a messy situation and there are not perfect decisions
even if you think you have them. Please assume good
intent. You will notice that every parish implementation
of the guidelines looks different. Each pastor is trying to
be prudent and find the right way for his parish. Pray for
us and each other. Also pray that we do not compete
with one another, except in showing love and pursuing
holiness.
Diocesan Services Appeal
Congratulations! We have made our parish goal! Thank
you to everyone who has contributed. I know this was a
tough year. Completing our goal is a testament to your
lives as disciples, your trust in God, and your generosity.
Thank you. If there are some of you who have not made
a gift but still want to contribute, please do so online at
www.dioceseoflansing.org or through the DSA envelope
sent to your home. Our parish receives back from the
diocese 50 percent of everything over our goal. I know
your gift will help both the diocese and our parish.
St. Casimir
St. Casimir’s offices are closed. We still have one
weekend Mass every Sunday at 9:45 until we have the
final closing Mass, which is scheduled for August 2. For
the next several weeks I will be missing one of the
Sunday Masses at St. Mary so I can be at St. Casimir.
We did set up the schedule so that I could do all the
Masses at both places if I needed. While I have help, it is
nice not to have run back and forth. Continue to pray for
the people of St. Casimir. We have a holy hour on
Tuesdays from 5:00 to 6:00 for that particular intention at Cont...

Choral singing
This is the tenth article in a weekly series about the role of
sacred music in Liturgy. This week we focus on choral
singing.
In addition to supporting the assembly during hymns,
responses, and acclamations, the St. Mary Cathedral choir
sings additional choral pieces at 11 a.m. Masses on
Sundays, Holy Days, and other occasions during the
“choir season,” September–June. At Mass, these pieces
are often at Offertory and Communion, but occasionally a

choral prelude is sung beforehand. As with all music dur-
ing Liturgy, the purpose of choral singing is to enhance
our worship.
Choral pieces are selected with many of the same consid-
erations as hymns (see the June 7 bulletin for more on that
topic). In some instances, the text of a choral composition
quotes or paraphrases the readings for a particular week.
Other times, choral pieces with a seasonal or more general
focus are programmed. Most of the pieces sung at Com-
munion have a strong Eucharistic theme.
In addition, choral pieces need to match the voices in a
choir and the available practice time. For example, our
choir usually sings pieces with two, three, or four voice
parts (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass). However, some
pieces are written for six or eight parts; those pieces are
often a stretch for a choir of 20-some voices and may not
be possible if the lowest note happens to be lower than the
men can sing or higher than the women are comfortable
reaching.
Thankfully, we are blessed to have a sizable library of
choral music to select from. The library has been devel-
oped over the choir’s long history, and it ranges from an-
cient chant works to pieces composed within our life-
times. Some pieces have organ accompaniment supporting
the vocal parts while others are sung a capella – with
voices only.
Since so many choral pieces are needed over the course of
a season (typically 80-90), some pieces are revisited regu-
larly – standards of sorts. Occasionally, new pieces are
added to challenge the singers or to introduce new texts,
themes, or settings. Choir members are dedicated and rise
to the challenge of using their talents in this way.
Although the choir has been on a long hiatus in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have faith that our world
will eventually be safe enough to sing together again in
close proximity. During this absence from singing, you
are invited to consider and pray about whether you may be
called to join us. The Cathedral choir family would be
pleased to welcome new members when we are able to
reconvene.
Feel free to reach out via email at:
[email protected] if you have any questions or
comments. Stay well.
