I enjoyed reading Paterfamilias's report on the “Common Prayer of Reconciliation & Remembrance in Commemoration of the Reformations” at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame University. It made wish I could have been there.

In answer to the question about making the visited church one’s regular church, Paterfamilias answered: “After this one unique service, I really have little idea of what their Sunday morning mass is like. As the site of a university's campus ministry, it's unlikely to be the sort of place to which Materfamilias and I would gravitate.” I thought some flavor of Sunday morning mass at the Basilica might be found by checking out the University of Notre Dame Folk Choir, which provides music for the 11:45 mass, and which also tours.

Quite a few videos of their music can be found on YouTube. I can't say whether they’d be to the tastes of Paterfamilias and Materfamilias, but I love listening to them and would go to hear them as often as possible if I lived any where Notre Dame. This one is one of my favorites, partially because I like this hymn*, partially because I think they sing it well, and partially because I find the joy with which they sing infectious: We Are Called—The Notre Dame Folk Choir.


* At our place, this hymn, based on Micah's “What does the Lord require of you...,” was sung the Sunday following Trump’s election and again the Sunday after his inauguration.

Link to report. The Basilica was also MWd in connection with the ordination of Shipmate Adam, formerly known as Hart.

Thanks, Miss Amanda, and sorry for not including the link to the report. I knew I was forgetting something.

I don't know if it has continued but Sunday Mass from the Basilica of the Sacred Heart used to be broadcast nationally on television. I forget if it was on the Hallmark Channel or if it was syndicated on local stations. I know it wasn't on EWTN and it must've been a different mass than the one with the folk choir because the music was more traditional. It may be worth checking online or in local listings to see if its still being broadcast.

Paterfamilias here - thank you Nick Tamen for the link to "We Are Called" - I have mixed reactions to a lot of the newer Catholic hymnody, but this is one I love - it was wonderful hearing a full church sing this enthusiastically on the Sunday a "Mass Mob" visited St. Aloysius in Detroit. I went to YouTube, and after hearing several of the Folk Choir's selections, suspect I need to take Materfamilias to hear this group at a Sunday morning Mass, once the Michigan snow season is over - one rarely hears this repertoire sung so well. Their enthusiasm is genuinely infectious. Interesting that their ensemble includes pipe organ rather than piano or keyboard - but obviously there's no room for a piano in that balcony with so many singers.

Pleased to note that they refer to 'Modern Catholic hymnody' as 'Folk' or as I was accustomed to in my youth 'Christian Folk'. It took me a while to realise what we sang at my local URC that was not standard URC fair came from the Roman Catholic tradition.
