Convivium Marianum 2023

"A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun,
with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

On December 17, for the second year in a row, we held our unique service, Convivium Marianum: A Prayerful Contemplation on the Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Scripture and Song.

The evening included readings from scripture, prayers from the divine office of Marian feasts throughout the year, and an exhortation by Bishop Mark Bartosic, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago and member of the St. Gregory's Hall board of advisors.

The musical program included beautiful works of sacred music spanning centuries and cultures, including works by Hans Leo Hassler, Claudio Monteverdi, anonymous English hymn "There is no Rose," and original compositions by composer-in-residence and choirmaster Kevin Allen.
