I hope you will join the choir in giving thanks to God for the establishment of Mater Dei Parish, at the 9am high mass tomorrow!
It will be a choral sung mass, “Missa O Quam Gloriosum” by Victoria, and include motets that recall the dedication of the parish, honor our Blessed Mother for her Divine Motherhood, and express joy from the psalms on our parish festival day!
Translations of the motets:
Locus Iste (Bruckner)
This place was made by God,
a priceless mystery;
it is without reproof.
This place was made by God.
O Quam Metuendus Est (Victoria)
Oh, how awe-inspiring is this place!
Surely this can be nothing else
but the house of God and the gate of heaven.
Exultate Deo (Scarlatti)
Sing we merrily unto God our strength : Alleluia!
make a cheerful noise unto the God of Jacob. Alleluia!
