This man, despising the world and worldly things, triumphantly laid up treasure in heaven by word and deed.

V. The Lord led the just man in right paths. R. And showed him the kingdom of God.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst give unto thy blessed Confessor Louis a glorious change from an earthly kingdom unto a heavenly one, grant unto us, we beseech thee, for his sake and by his prayers, one day to enter like him into the Pres- ence of the King of kings, thy Son Jesus Christ. Who with thee liveth and reigneth, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.

Please pray for peace and unity in our city.

Saint Louis prayer cards are available in the Rectory Office.

The rector welcomes Mr. James Marck to St. Francis de Sales Oratory. Mr. Marck will take up the reigns as Director of Sacred Music on August 1, 2020. As you will see from the description of his musical accomplish- ments noted below, Mr. Marck has extensive sacred music experience in organ playing, instrumentals, polyph- ony and for an extensive clientele, including churches promoting the Traditional Latin Mass. Having previously worked with Mr. Marck in Rockford, , the rector wishes to emphatically express his confidence in the director's musical abilities, musical taste, leadership capabilities, work ethic and personal gifts as a man uniquely qualified not only to bring the Oratory organ project to a happy conclusion, but to con- tinue building what he prays will be a world class Sacred Music Program for St. Francis de Sales Orato- ry. More information concerning his arrival will be coming in the near future and the rector looks forward to introducing him to you all.

Director of Sacred Music James Marck, M. Mus.

James Marck has directed sacred music programs for over a decade, having served most recently as music director at the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest’s apostolate in Rockford, IL since 2016. During his time in Rockford, he was a regular participant of the Sacred Music Workshop of- fered by Canon Wulfran Lebocq at St. Francis de Sales Oratory, and is an active member of the Church Music Association of America, participating in its annual colloquium and chant intensives in various cities of the United States including Houston and Indianapolis. He has studied Gregorian Chant with Angela Rocchio, both during her tenure as director of the Chant Schola of the Diocese of Peoria and presently from her studio in St. Louis. While in Peoria, IL, Marck served as director of music at Roman Catho- lic Church, where he was commissioned by the Franciscan to compose Communio, a polyphonic collection of the communion antiphons from the Proper of Mass, and founded the Peoria affiliate of American Federation Pu- eri Cantores, which he took to sing in Rome and Assisi during the 40th Inter- national Congress of Pueri Cantores in 2015. In 2013 he premiered his origi- nal work, The Changeless Mover: A Ballet in Five Movements, choreo- graphed by Servy Gallardo, which dramatized the first of the five proofs from ’ Summa. In Rockford, Marck has served as the artis- tic director of Kantorei, as section leader and secretary of the executive board of The Nielsen Chorale, as program coordinator of the Rockford Chapter of the American Guild of Or- ganists, as choral clinician at Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Academy, as drum corps instructor for Youth Against Violence Organization, and as member of the administrative staff of the Rockford Symphony Orches- tra. He holds degrees in music composition from Bradley University and Northern Illinois University.
