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 European capitals. His mastery of polyphony in the Franco-Flemish style ranks him among the three most famous 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 collection 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 setting by Dufay (1397-1474) has the unusual and modern-sounding sonorities of the Burgundian School, a Franco-Flemish school from the early Renaissance. Compare it against the Lasso—that’s 200 years of musical progress, 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.

Our restored bell can ring can be programmed
to ring before Sunday Mass and on the hour
during the week. What do you think?
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 restoration 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.
BAPTISM PREPARATION
If you are expecting a new baby or if she/he is already here,
be sure to let us know. Then go to our website and acquaint
yourself with what to do next to be prepared for the
renewal of your own baptismal vows and the baptism
of your child.

Congratulations to their parents, sponsors and
Catechists.
During this
year of Mercy, 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

SAINT ANTHONY
NOVENA: Tuesday, May 3,

Anthony Novena. We would like
to thank our wonderful seniors –
Anna Caroselli, Lina Faele and
Anna Marie Maniscalco for their
donations to our ‘coffee social’ which takes place after the Novena Mass each
Tuesday. They brought cake, cookies and popcorn last week, and we are grateful to
them for being so generous. The last novena Mass will be on June 7th. There will
also be a 12:10 PM Mass on Saint Anthony’s Feast Day which is Monday, June
13th. This Mass will signal the end of our 12:10 PM weekday Masses.
MOTHER’S DAY: Sunday, May 8th, 2016 is Mother’s Day. The usual Mother’s
Day remembrance cards are out in the back of the church and in the sacristy. Jeanie
Sama, keeper of our church traditions, has asked that you return your Mother’s Day
cards with your intentions by this Saturday, April 30. She will collect them at the
5:30 PM Mass and they will be placed on the altar in time for the 5:30 PM Vigil
Mass the following Saturday, May 7th in anticipation of Mother’s Day on Sunday,
May 8th. You may also return your Mother’s Day remembrance cards at the rectory office after 10:00 am – all Mother’s Day remembrance cards and intentions
MUST be returned before May 7th, otherwise yours will NOT be able to be placed
on the altar in time.
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 hardship to you and your families. Thank you!
REMINDER: Tuesday, May 3rd, is Alzheimer’s Awareness Day at MPB Church
from 11:00 AM until 4:00 PM. Please try to attend – this will be very informative
and some of the information you will take with you might prove to be invaluable to
you one day. NOTE: Week 8 of the Saint Anthony Novena Mass will be taking
place this same day at 12:10 PM. If you are NOT attending Mass, please try to
respect those who are and remain silent at the back of the church while Mass is in
progress. We thank you for your cooperation.
