François Rosier, S.M., Friday, October 23, 2:30 PM on Mary in the Apocrypha From the Marian Treasure Chest Musical Version of the Ave Maria in Spanish (by Brother John Samaha, S.M.) Click here for a Spanish version of the Ave Maria (Hail Mary) that was widely sung in the California Missions. This music was most likely composed by Franciscan Padre Narciso Duran at Mission San Jose (now Fremont, CA), probably around 1815. Padre Duran, a trained musician, went from mission to mission teaching music to the natives people. He may also have influenced mission art and architecture. The musical score was prepared by the late Brother Paul Wessling, S.M., more than fifty years ago, and was published in the Marianist Hymnal which he compiled. The second tenor line is the melody.

Synod Entrusted to Our Lady of the Rosary Benedict XVI today entrusted the synod on Africa under way at the Vatican to Our Lady of the Rosary. Noting today's feast of this devotion to the Virgin Mary and the work of the Second Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops, the Pope asked the faithful, "Unite with me in entrusting this important event in the life of the Church to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Rosary. "Through the ministry of the Church may the people of Africa recover the paths that lead to reconciliation, justice and peace." ... Click here for the complete article.
