A Missa Cantata for Our Lady
To commemorate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7, Rev. Robert Marczewski, head chaplain at 51, California, enlisted the musical talent of numerous students to offer a Missa Cantata — a traditional High Mass sung by the celebrant, with choral accompaniment for the propers — in honor the Blessed Mother.
Fr. Marczewski, vested in white and blue with gold accents, chanted the praise of God and the Blessed Mother, while a student schola added its voices to his prayer. “The polyphony was moving, and the songs for the Mass were well known to me,” said Liam McDaniel (’27). “It was early in the morning, and it was beautiful to watch as the sun slowly dawned on a new day that began with worshipping God.”
