On Thursday, September 24, 2009, Jeffrey Tucker, managing editor of Sacred Music, will be at the Catholic Information Center in Washington, D.C., 6-7:30pm. He will give a talk and sign copies of Sing Like a Catholic.

His general theme concerns the desperate need for a unifying and universal music voice in liturgy for all Catholics to call their own.

Judging from the outstanding response to the Chant Pilgrimage that starts the following day, the Washington, D.C., area seems to be a hotbed of progress in the area of liturgical music.

A good number of people have responded favorably to our request for donations to help seminarians attend the CMAA Fall Pilgrimage coming up in September at the National Shrine. People have added ten or twenty dollars, and in some case, even more to their own payments in order to make it possible for seminarians to attend this milestone event. If you are or know a seminarian who would like attend but might need a little help covering tuition, please write to us at programs@musicasacra.com.
