Haag, Donohue and Wenzel
...with a bang. Yes, the traditional end to the Christmas season, the Feast of the Presentation of Lord in the Temple, was marked with a tremendous send off thanks to Our Lady's Consort. Under the direction of Caleb Wenzel, the young men and women of the consort sang Vespers at Moreau Seminary while Fr. Ralph Haag presided. Singing psalms, anthems, and canticles, the Feast of the Presentation was celebrated in a most fitting, spiritual, and celebratory way. On singing Vespers, Gil Donohue, Stedsman and member of the consort, said, "Singing for Vespers for the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord was a really beautiful way to end the Christmas season in prayer. Chant is some of the most beautiful music the Church has, and Caleb's psalm tones and antiphons were really lovely and great for drawing focus to the texts. It was also special because OLC formed and started rehearsing about year ago, and it was really nice to see how far this endeavor has come in enriching the musical and spiritual life on campus through sacred music."
