Macirowski Pastoral Coordinator for Worship & Music / Principal Organist [email protected] [email protected] Pope Saint Gregory the Great served as Pope from 590-604, and his memorial is celebrated on September 3rd. He is the patron saint of musicians, especially singers, students and teachers. Although his tenure was short, he is noted for multiple accomplishments: Emphasized missionary work in Great Britain Frequently gave alms to the poor, and suggested that each church have a deacon who would be ordained for the purpose of service to the poor and needy Fed the hungry during a Roman famine in the mid-590s, using the farming assets of the Church of Rome. Heavily involved in the liturgy of the Church, he began to establish the collecting of chants used throughout the various regions and constructed the standard for which specific chants would be used for specific services. Although the specific way of notating this music would come centuries later, the term Gregorian Chant is attributed to him and remains the official musical form of the Roman Catholic Church to this day. www.stmaryscoltsneck.org Sept 5, 2021 5 Covid-19 Protocols at St Mary Parish Sacred Relics Of The Saints: Treasures Of The Church St. Ann Parish presents a teaching and exposition of There are directives from the Diocese where masks Sacred Relics on Thursday September 16 at 6:30 are not required for fully vaccinated persons.
