ERBEN RENEWAL: Restore Our Pipe Organ!

We are in great need of financial support to restore and protect the Erben. Donations to the organ fund can be made to St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral,

with the memo “Erben Organ Restoration Fund.” Join the “Erben Renewal” Facebook page to find out about music at the Basilica, and the world-class 2,500 pipe Henry Erben

organ, one of the great pipe organs of America: http://facebook.com/erbenorgan.

Join the Basilica Schola! Our 7:00 PM Schola sings music written by a wide array of com-

posers from over 2,000 years of Catholic tradition, including chant and polyphony, as well as spirituals and new choral works. It’s a

great way to worship, meet fellow parishioners, and experience our treasury of sacred music. And of course, it is fun to sing!

On Sundays in September, we host informal auditions at the Parish House at 263 Mulber ry St. in order to get a sense of your musi-cal experience and also give you an opportunity to ask us questions. You can bring a piece of music with you, or just sing a hymn from

a hymnal. Please let Joshua, our Cantor, know you’ll be coming
