Vespers and Chant in New Jersey
St. Mary's Church in West New York, NJ, has instituted a monthly Vespers and Benediction service, lead by Fr. Carlo Fortunio, with music led by Deacon Peter Basch. It occurs on the first Sunday of every month. They do the Tridentine Vespers and Benediction with five Psalms, from the Liber Usualis. Basch says "the focus here is not to be a slave to the Tridentine but rather to provide a rich, traditional, fabric, a spiritual dimension that is true to the Magisterium and accessible to God's people, via Latin Gregorian Chant throughout." Fr. Fortunio is described as "a very interesting person, gentle, kind, firm, gracious, verbally fluent in English, Latin, French, Spanish, and liturgical excellence!"
