Archdiocesan schola cantorum Vox Sacra will offer Tenebrae service at St. Joan of Arc on April 13
Vox Sacra, the archdiocese’s schola cantorum, will offer a Tenebrae service at St. Joan of Arc Church, 4217 Central Ave., in Indianapolis, at 7 p.m. on April 13.
Tenebrae—which is Latin for “darkness”—is a liturgical service of sung Scripture readings and Psalms regarding Christ’s passion and death. Held during Holy Week, the service is lit only by candles, which are gradually extinguished until the sanctuary is dark. A loud noise at the service’s conclusion symbolizes Christ’s death. Tenebrae is designed to serve as a powerful, reflective experience for the faithful ahead of the Easter Triduum.
The service on April 13 will include psalm singing, prayer and choral offerings by 16th- and 17th-century Catholic composers Carlo Gesualdo, Marc’Antonio Ingegneri and Francisco Lopez-Capillas.
Vox Sacra, the archdiocese’s schola cantorum—Latin for “school of singers”—is a select group of volunteer vocalists from throughout parishes in central and southern Indiana who have the ability to sing more involved, complicated sacred music. Vox Sacra, which means “sacred voice” in Latin, is led by Andrew Motyka, director of Archdiocesan and Cathedral Music.
The service is free, and all are welcome. For more information, contact Motyka at 317-236-1513 or amotyka@archindy.org.
Learn about the rosary at Saint Meinrad Archabbey retreat on May 16-18
Saint Meinrad Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center, 200 Hill Dr., in St. Meinrad, will offer a retreat titled “The Rosary Zone” from May 16-18.
The Catholic Church dedicates the month of May to the Blessed Mother. What better time, then, to focus on the rosary?
The retreat, led by Benedictine Brother Zachary Wilberding, will explore the history and spirituality of the rosary and ways to enhance the practice of this treasured prayer.
Check-in time for the retreat is 2-5 p.m. Central Time on Friday. Retreatants are invited to join in Vespers in the Archabbey Church at 5 p.m., which will be followed by supper. The opening conference typically begins at 6:30 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. Central Time. The retreat concludes with lunch on Sunday. A complete schedule will be provided at registration.
The cost for the retreat is $350 for a single-bed room or $550 for a double-bed room.
For more information or to register, call 812-357-6611 or go to saintmeinrad.org/retreats.
