Introducing Canticum Sacrum, 2020-21
Dear Parishioners,
It has been a daunting, and somewhat trying, couple of months for singers, conductors, and music ministers. With the spread of Covid-19 and the publication of numerous articles and research papers outlining the danger of in-person ensemble singing, there is still no vaccine, nor a clear timeline for when one might be approved and become widely available. Many choral directors are left asking: how in the world can our arts organizations proceed and effectively engage our singers within the context of a global pandemic?
We’ve seen superb virtual choir videos posted online, many of them created by our excellent Choir of St. Ignatius Loyola, and shared via various social media platforms. I’ve been impressed by the outstanding resourcefulness of our singers and editor extraordinaire, Associate Director of Music Robert Reuter. But, if you are like me and suffer from a certain amount of “technophobia,” I would offer that there can be a way forward for avocational singers during Covid-19. This involves a challenge that presents formidable limitations alongside abundant positive opportunities and outcomes.

In his Thursday, August 6th homily, Fr. Hallinan counsels us that while "suffering is a part of our human reality", the one thing that should not be is fear. "How then do we live without fear as Jesus calls us to do? Well, if we are following his way of compassion and seeking actively to be the instruments of compassion in this world that we are called to be, then we have the confidence that we dwell in Christ and Christ dwells in us. ... So, we should have nothing to fear in this world so long as we join ourselves to Christ."

Please contact Maureen Haley, Director of Children’s Choirs, at haleym@saintignatiusloyola.org to inquire about audition procedures and rehearsal times. Auditions for next season—which begins in an online format in September—are ongoing throughout the summer.

Do you have a friend, family member, or a loved one who is considering becoming Catholic? We want you to know about a program at the parish beginning in the Fall.
During this program, interested individuals have the opportunity to inquire into the Catholic faith, to come to know Jesus through the Gospels, to pray, and to prepare for the Easter Sacraments. This process is also open to Catholic adults who have not received the Sacraments of First Communion or Confirmation.
For more information about this process, which is called the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), call M. Fullam at 212-288-3588 or email church@saintignatiusloyola.org.

If you are a small business owner or professional who is trying to navigate through the economic turmoil of the loss of business due to the pandemic, you may wish to consider joining a group of parishioners confronting the same circumstances. A member of the parish has offered to take on the responsibility of coordinating such a group and hosting Zoom meetings. If interested, please email me at yesaloniad@saintignatiusloyola.org.
— Fr. Yesalonia
