Today was a really full schedule. Even the attendees who are probably one third my age were exhausted! In addition to and following the afternoon OF Mass for St. Thomas the Apostle, we had sung Vespers in the extraordinary form, and finished the day with chanted Compline in the church, since we were already there.

I had another one of those indescribable moments when the entire church chanted

I have a few short videos which will not upload. Perhaps technology will be kinder to me tomorrow.
