Priest Graduates of Catholic Colleges Release Chant Album
Mallory Nygard / April 28, 2017
Ordained graduates of Newman Guide-colleges are involved in a new project that will bring ancient sacred music to a new generation.
Three graduates of Christendom College and Thomas Aquinas College, all ordained priests in The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter are among the singers on an album of Gregorian chant that will be released in May.
The album, entitled REQUIEM, will feature music usually sung during funeral Masses. Fr. Gerard Saguto, the North American Superior of the Fraternity, explained that the new recording of the Requiem is “a way to share some of what we do on a wider scale, to put something beautiful and sacred out into the world.”
The singing priests credit the faithful Catholic education they received at the two colleges with instilling in them a love of the liturgy and sacred music like Gregorian Chant.
