Our Patrice Sokolowski is a long-time member of the St. Cecilia Cathedral Choir in Omaha. The Cathedral Choir has been invited as one of the few choirs in the United States to join the Sistine Chapel Choir in singing at a special mass, at the Vatican in Rome, with Pope Francis, to close the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
Upon arrival in Rome, the Cathedral Choir will sing a mass in St. Peter’s Basilica and the following day, attend the weekly General Audience with Pope Francis. The St. Cecilia Cathedral Choir will sing Vespers and a special program at St. Cecilia Basilica in Trastevere honoring St. Cecilia, the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Omaha and musicians. Additionally, the Choir will present a concert at the church, St. Paul Inside the Walls. The trip will culminate with the Pontifical Mass on November 20th.
This is a great honor and we wish the St. Cecilia Cathedral Choir and all those participating safe travels and a blessed trip.
