Family in Feast and Feria

I was saddened to hear the news that Msgr. Richard Schuler died yesterday. He played a huge role in sacred music, especially in America, and founded the Church Music Association of America. You can read a short biography here.

I had a chance to meet him and listen to his talks at a Sacred Music Colloquim about 11 or 12 years ago. What a wonderful, humble, holy priest!

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
