To Download 10:30Am Mass Booklet ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass with Induction of Choristers Fifth Sunday of the Year 7 February 2021 10.30am WELCOME to St Mary’s Cathedral which stands in the centre of Sydney as a Christian statement of grace and beauty. Generations of artists have bequeathed to it their magnificent gifts in stone and glass, designing a unique space of solace and prayer within this vibrant city. This Cathedral represents the spiritual origins of the Catholic Church in Australia. It is one of Sydney’s most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest examples of English-style gothic churches in the world. William Wilkinson Wardell, the 19th century architect, dreamed of a gothic structure shaped from the local yellow-block sandstone on which this city is built. The building was finally completed 100 years after the architect’s death. The Cathedral is dedicated to Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians. THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR St Mary’s Cathedral Choir is the oldest musical institution in Australia. In 1818 a group of choristers was formed to sing Vespers before the Blessed Sacrament in the Dempsey household, the centre of Catholic worship in the penal colony. After the establishment of St Mary’s Cathedral in 1833 the successors of these choristers formed the permanent Cathedral Choir. In faithfulness to the Benedictine English tradition from which the Cathedral’s founders came, the Choir is formed of men and boys, preserving the historical character of Catholic liturgical and musical heritage. St Mary’s is the only Catholic Cathedral in Australia to have an on-site Choir School where the twenty-four boy choristers are educated. The other parts of the Choir are provided by lay clerks who are professional singers. The Choir’s primary function is to sing Vespers and Mass in the Cathedral which it does almost daily, but it has also undertaken several international tours, recordings and concert projects.

Homily RITE OF ADMISSION OF NEW CHORISTERS The probationers who are to be admitted into the Cathedral Choir are brought before the Celebrant. The Director of Music says: Father, I present to you the following boys to be admitted as choristers in the Cathedral Choir: Luciano Chalco Arce, Jacob Cheong, Liam Kim, Isaac Lichaa, Dominic Tov, Lucas Yuan and Diego Zurita Honig. With the grace of God, they have fulfilled their obligations as probationers and passed their tests. I judge them ready to receive the chorister’s surplice. ± Thanks be to God. The Celebrant says: It is the duty of a Cathedral chorister to give of their best in the worship of the Church; by their conduct to set an example, and to strive to lift the hearts of all to God. With this in mind, do you promise to be faithful members of the Cathedral Choir? The probationers respond: I do. Will you accept the discipline of those set over you, and serve God here with reverence and joy? The probationers respond: I will. May Almighty God accept the offering of your worship, and lead you in the light and obedience of Christ. The probationers respond: Amen. The surplices are brought before the Celebrant for blessing. The Celebrant says: EAVENLY Father, bless these robes, that they may be signs of the service that Hthese boys offer as choristers. May they who wear them be ever faithful to their calling, and offer you faithful worship to the glory of your name. We ask this through Christ our Lord. ± Amen. The surplices are sprinkled with holy water. The probationers approach the Celebrant in pairs and kneel before him. As the Celebrant hands the surplice to each chorister he says: N., you have promised to serve God in this Choir and to lead his people in worship and praise. I therefore admit you to the Choir of St Mary’s Cathedral; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Phillips-Robins: SINGING FOR DANTE Bibliotheca Dantesca, 1 (2018): 127-145 SINGING FOR DANTE IN ‘PURGATORIO’ 30–31 HELENA PHILLIPS-ROBINS, University of Cambridge This essay investigates types of sociality enacted through song, as depicted in Dante’s Earthly Paradise. The first section of the essay argues that the singing of Psalm 30 (In te, Domine, speravi) in Purgatorio 30 is a way of enacting a particular mode of compassion. In the second section of the essay I argue that Dante’s depiction of Psalm 30—together with his depiction of the antiphon sung in Purgatorio 31, the Asperges me—invites a devotional response from the reader. The sociality of prayer can involve not only the characters, but also the readers of the Commedia. I investigate the liturgical context in which Dante and medieval readers would have known and lived the Asperges me. I argue that here, at the end of the narrative of his penitential journey, Dante, with this antiphon, invites the reader to her own performance of penance.

  • ST MARY's CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass
    ST MARY’S CATHEDRAL Solemn Mass Third Sunday of Lent 7 March 2021 10.30am WELCOME to St Mary’s Cathedral which stands in the centre of Sydney as a Christian statement of grace and beauty. Generations of artists have bequeathed to it their magnificent gifts in stone and glass, designing a unique space of solace and prayer within this vibrant city. This Cathedral represents the spiritual origins of the Catholic Church in Australia. It is one of Sydney’s most treasured historic buildings and one of the finest examples of English-style gothic churches in the world. William Wilkinson Wardell, the 19th century architect, dreamed of a gothic structure shaped from the local yellow-block sandstone on which this city is built. The building was finally completed 100 years after the architect’s death. The Cathedral is dedicated to Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, Help of Christians. THE CATHEDRAL CHOIR St Mary’s Cathedral Choir is the oldest musical institution in Australia. In 1818 a group of choristers was formed to sing Vespers before the Blessed Sacrament in the Dempsey household, the centre of Catholic worship in the penal colony. After the establishment of St Mary’s Cathedral in 1833 the successors of these choristers formed the permanent Cathedral Choir. In faithfulness to the Benedictine English tradition from which the Cathedral’s founders came, the Choir is formed of men and boys, preserving the historical character of Catholic liturgical and musical heritage. St Mary’s is the only Catholic Cathedral in Australia to have an on-site Choir School where the twenty-four boy choristers are educated.
