Let the Children Come to Me

Corpus Christi Watershed reports on the recently completed National Catholic Youth Conference in Indianapolis which included at least one Extraordinary Form Mass. As Fr. David Friel says:

Young people, it is true, are not widely familiar with the traditional form of the Mass. Nor are they familiar with all the preconceptions & biases that led their grandparents’ generation to dismiss traditional forms. My experience has shown me that young people, when given the opportunity to experience the Church’s tradition, are able to appreciate the richness and beauty of our faith. Let us, therefore, continue to expose them to the Church’s tradition! (Emphasis mine.)

We here at RPC are trying to do just that, and we thank the parishes that allow us to present Gregorian Chant and polyphony to those who have never heard them.
