Sorry we're late this week. I had everything ready for yesterday, but was sidetracked with some family issues that had to be taken care of. I was able to get as far as the mixing finally last night, so the dates reflect yesterday. But...I couldn't upload the show or the notes until today.

Today we talk about congregational singing at funerals.
Feasts for the week:  May 14-18. For more information, see the New Advent Website.

Christus Vincit Semi-Live on I-195: Today the road is a little safer as we discuss and play some of the music we used for the Sixth Sunday of Easter. It was an action packed weekend as one Mass ended with a May Procession, and another Mass was First Communion.

1. Come, Holy Ghost (music written by Louis Lambillotte)
2. O Breathe on Me, O Breath of God (tune: St. Columba)
3. Alleluia! Sing to Jesus (tune: Hyfrydol);
