We've been going to mass on lenten Wednesday mornings. It's the weekly St. John Vianney School mass, and I used to love hearing the children's choir on those days, directed by a really good teacher. This program seems to have disappeared, at least temporarily, and I miss the music , except this weeek. On Wednesday, Fr. Eugene O'Reilly, the Canadian Redemptorist preaching the parish mission, taught the kids a song, Children of the Light, that is fairly well-known among those who follow Catholic schools and modern liturgical music.
It's a little "bubbly-gummy", but catchy. Fr. O'Reilly is a good teacher and pitted boys against girls in a strategy that actually got even middle-school boys to sing. I do like the simple lyrics.

About Me
- Catherine Hennessey
- The first blog was a simple travel journal written during an Alaskan cruise in 2008. I document all of our trips, and refer to my posts fairly frequently, especially when we're planning a return visit to a destination. I enjoy recording events in both words and pictures -- blogging is one more way of staying in touch with family and friends in this wonderful, connected world. I've been retired since April of 2013, and there's no shortage of things to do or activities to enjoy. I enjoy writing about everything ... and nothing.
