Aug. 8-12 The Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Cincinnati and its parishes ( Sacred Heart in Camp Washington and Old St. Mary’s in Over the Rhine) will host a Sacred Music Retreat for liturgical musicians, ages 18 and older.
This retreat is centered around the liturgy and music associated with the Extraordinary Form of the Mass (the Tridentine Latin Mass), and will feature internationally recognized musicians to assist in developing musical growth, as well as one or more clerics to act in the capacity of a retreat master. The retreat will address the spirituality inherent in participating in a parish choir; and the desire to seek the glory of God through music and to draw souls to Christ. Rooms accommodate up to 120 participants. The retreat will culminate in two pontifical Masses, one to be held at Old St. Mary’s on Saturday, August 11th, and the other for the 11:00 AM Mass at Sacred Heart on Sunday, August 12th. Details to come; for start time and schedule, contact the organizers.
