This is actually the parish to which I go for confessions here in Sugar Land, TX. We normally drive into downtown Houston for Mass, as that’s where the nearest Extraordinary Form is said weekly, but inter Missas secundum Novum Ordinem, I’ve not personally seen better than St. Theresa’s for reverence and a well-founded ars celebrandi. Fr. Reynolds is a great priest.
There was a time when children learned chant from the womb on – by hearing it every Sunday at Mass. Many people at least learned the Ordinary for Mass 8, along with the Salve Regina and others. Yes, chant can be learned – may it return to it’s ‘pride of place’.
Thank you for sharing this, and I agree with all the above statements. It’s amazing to see this all happening here in Texas. We are so very blessed.

About Me
Jeff Miller is a former atheist who after spending forty years in the wilderness finds himself with both astonishment and joy a member of the Catholic Church. This blog presents my hopefully humorous and sometimes serious take on things religious, political, and whatever else crosses my mind. My conversion story
Blessed Miguel Pro, S.J.
Known as "God's Jester" was a martyr for the faith and a man of wisdom, fun, tricks, poetry, song, and dance. Thus seemed an appropriate Patron Saint of this blog.

Keep it coming-I love that they’re not just learning chant-but learning how to defend the faith at the same time. Praise God!

Very beautiful.
