Tenebrae - Tuesday, April 15, from 7:30 pm to 8:45 pm

Tenebrae, meaning Darkness, was written in the middle of the last century by Monsignor John Edward Ronan — principal founder of Toronto's St. Michael's Choir School. The Tenebrae responsories convey the sorrow of Holy Week through solemn and noble music. This year's presentation by MOSAIC Canadian Vocal Ensemble, Alumni of St. Michael's Choir School and members of the Our Lady of Sorrows adult choir, with musical arrangement by our Music Director Gordon Mansell, will also include Allegri's monumental Miserere Mei. 

All are invited to attend this service of light through darkness on Tuesday of Holy Week.

Free will offering appreciated.
