Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum) (Ps 118: 22, 24):
Aufer a me opprobrium et contemptum, quia mandata
tua exquisivi, Domine: nam et testimonia tua meditatio mea est
(Remove from me all scorn and contempt, for I have kept your
commandments; for your law is the object of my meditations).


The Anniversary of the Dedication of our Parish Church occurs
on Monday (11 Oct 1953 by Bp Mitty); Sun at 11 am the choir sings
at Offertory the Gradual (the Proper text replaced every week by
the Responsorial Psalm) for this Solemnity: Locus iste a Deo factus
est, inaestimabile sacramentum, irreprehensibilis est (This place
is the work of God, a mystery surpassing all comprehension, above
all reproach). The polyphonic setting of the text is by Anton
Bruckner (1824-1896) who was born in Ansfelden Austria; his
schoolmaster-organist father taught him music; later he studied
at the Augustinian monastery in Sankt Florian (upper Austria)

various composers); 1868- Vienna Conservatory music theory teacher;
toured as organist 1869 France, 1871 England; 1875- Vienna University
teacher. Composed symphonies, masses, sacred choral works including
motets, chamber works.
