MUSIC AT THE BASILICA Music for the Sixth Sunday of Easter Orlando di Lasso (1532–1594) is the late Renaissance composer of our Offertory motet; he was born in the Netherlands. The story goes that he was kidnapped and taken to Italy on account of his beautiful voice. He travelled widely in Italy, ending up at St. John Lateran in Rome, after which he returned to northern Europe and was employed by the Duke of Bavaria for the rest of his life, though he was a frequent guest in many Eu-ropean capitals. His mastery of polyphony in the Franco-Flemish style ranks him among the three most fa-mous and influential musicians in Europe at the end of the 16th century (the other two being Palestrina and Victoria). Lasso’s Benedicite gentes, which is the proper text for the Offertory this week, comes from a collec-tion published in 1585 in Munich. The Communion hymn is actually a Vespers hymn: Vespers is really the only place in the Roman Rite where hymns are prescribed! Ad coenam agni providi is the office hymn at Vespers from Low Sunday to Ascension. The 1632 Breviary replaced it with a drastically rewritten version, Ad regias Agni dapes. The polyphonic set-ting by Dufay (1397-1474) has the unusual and modern-sounding sonorities of the Burgundian School, a Fran-co-Flemish school from the early Renaissance. Compare it against the Lasso—that’s 200 years of musical pro-gress, or at least change! Dufay also was born in present-day Belgium, and his talents were noticed early and put into service for the Church.

During this year of Mer-cy, it is more important than ever to

be actively aware of the needs of our brothers and sisters in need. The Cardinal’s Appeal addresses a wide range of human needs in neighborhoods of the Archdiocese. Many people and whole families are in crisis due to changes in economy as well as challenges that come to them through illness or accidents. In addition, the Cardinal’s Appeal assist in the education of youngsters and the care for older people who have become frail, including nuns and priests.

Please be generous in response to the Cardinal’s Appeal. Every year the Archdiocese sets a goal for each parish. This year the goal for the merged parish of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral and the Shrine Church of the Most Precious Blood is $47,000. Please pray over this and make a gift that will assist those in need around us. You can learn more about the Appeal at www.cardinalsappeal.org

THE SHEEN CENTER

Stained Glass Windows With great joy, four refurbished windows will be installed this coming week in the sanctuary area, two windows on each side. Keep in mind, that the restora-tion of the windows is a monumental effort since that tracery sections of the windows (the woodwork that frames the stained glass) had to be hand hewn from hard wood. This had to be replaced because the old frames and tracery were so deteriorated that they no longer could safely hold the glass in place. The remaining stained glass windows will be completed over the spring and summer.

The stained glass that you now see is the same glass that was there before the restoration. The glass looks new because each piece was cleaned and in some cases replaced where there were breaks or pieces missing.

Weekday Masses As a result of the work being done inside and outside the Basilica during the installation of the four stained glass windows, the church will be closed from Monday to Friday for the next two weeks. The weekday Masses - 8:00AM & 12:10PM - will be celebrated in St. Michael’s Russian Catholic Church at 266 Mulberry Street.

CARDINAL’S APPEAL: It has come to our attention that donations to the Cardinal’s Appeal have not been what was expected from our parish. There is still time to submit your donation to this worthy cause. Please remember that there are countless people out there who need help, and the Cardinal’s Appeal is one if the ways these people in need receive the assistance they require. Please think about donating whatever amount is within your means and that will not cause any hard-

ship to you and your families. Thank you!
