“St. Thomas is the patron of our University. He composed the liturgy for the feast of Corpus Christi. We welcome all who come to be transformed in learning singing our sacred liturgy in the beautiful chant inspired by God’s word.”

“The scholarship of Fr. Columba Kelly, OSB, in Gregorian chant is such a contribution to the mission of the University to form catholic leadership in our world, by the participants entering more fully into the Church’s sacred Liturgy and prayer. As Pope Benedict uttered so succinctly; ‘When man comes into contact with God, mere speech is not enough’.”

Dominic Aquila, Ph.D

"Hail, O Queen of Heaven enthroned.
Hail, by angels mistress owned.
Root of Jesse, Gate of Morn
Whence the world's true light was born:
Glorious Virgin, Joy to thee,
Loveliest whom in heaven they see;
Fairest thou, where all are fair,
Plead with Christ our souls to spare."

Second Seasonal Marian hymn from Compline,
Sung from February 2, Feast of the presentation of our Lord,
To Wednesday of Holy Week,
