In what is surely a great honour, the
Choir of St. Mary's Cathedral, Sydney, will sing for Pope Benedict in Rome next Wednesday. The occasion is the
opening of a new centre in the Eternal City for Australian pilgrims,
Domus Australia, comprising accommodation and a fully restored chapel.
According to
The Australian, Cardinal Pell will dedicate the Chapel's new altar before the Pope officially opens the new centre. The ceremony will be
webcast.
The choir, which sang at the Papal Mass in St. Mary's Cathedral in 2008 (during WYD), is made up of men and boys and sets an extremely high standard in sacred music, in the best traditions of the Roman Rite. His Holiness will undoubtedly be enamoured of their singing.
