On Sunday, I celebrated the 7 AM Mass at St. Gregory the Great Church in Bluffton. That Mass has no music or singing-just a spoken Mass. Then I drove to St. Anthony Mission in Hardeeville for their 8:30 AM Mass. That Mass has a cantor who strums a guitar to lead the singing. Then I went back to HII but left again to go to Savannah for the Traditional Latin Mass at 1 PM at Sacred Heart Church. That Mass is completely sung, including the priest’s parts and there is a professional Schola which is expert in Gregorian Latin Chant. I offered the 1 PM Mass for the happy repose of the soul of my brother, Johnny, who died two weeks ago of cancer. August 20th he would have been 76 years old. BTW, as an itinerant “retired” priest, I clocked 143 miles on my car on Sunday!
