Colloquium - The Last Day

Colloquium group pic

All too soon, our heavenly week was ended.  Our final Mass was back in the university chapel.  With the eight scheduled choirs, plus the members of the Faure choir adding their voices to the beginning polyphony choir, our nine choirs evoked the nine Angelic Choirs of Heaven. The Mass concluded with all 210 attendees chanting the Te Deum in alternatum.

Please plan to join us next year in St. Louis!

When the Colloquium ended, we decided to go and visit St. Anthony chapel, which contains the largest collection of relics outside the Vatican.  However, even though the website said it would be open today, it was closed.

Instead, we visited Epiphany Church, which was having a 4th of July food festival.  This is another of many beautiful old churches in the Pittsburgh area,
