The St. Cecilia Society announces a special devotional concert series for 2018, dedicated to the Mysteries of the Rosary.
Join us in praying the rosary, assisted by some of the great musical treasures of the Church.
These concert-meditations will be free of charge and open to the public. (Donations will be gratefully accepted, with proceeds benefiting the sacred music program at St. Mary’s.)
