Jeffrey Tucker of the New Liturgical Movement has a fabulous post on Latin Chant Mass settings using the Kyriale . He then links to a site entitled the Saint Antoine Daniel Latin Kyriale Gregorian Chant website. Don't miss Mr. Tucker's explanation for why this site is so important and how your music director can use it for Mass settings during Advent and beyond. Fr. Zuhlsdorf also has some great comments on the Kyriale and on the Saint Antoine Daniel website .

Among the free help they offer are pregnancy tests, sonograms, maternity and baby clothes, confidential counseling and parenting classes. Assisting these centers in their good work are the people of the Gabriel Network, which supplements the invaluable life-affirming resources provided by pregnancy resource centers by connecting women in need with “angel friends.” These volunteers stay with women in crisis throughout their pregnancies and beyond, helping them find housing, taking them to prenatal appointments, assisting them in obtaining sch...
