It’s become a tradition that the FI clerics here in Italy – that is, those who are studying for the priesthood – hold a concert every September in honor of the Feast of Our Lady of the Royal Hall at our sanctuary in Comacchio, Italy. Here’s the first of the three-part series from that concert. The friars are from all different parts of the globe, including the US, Italy, the Philippines, Nigeria, Chad, Benin, and France, among others. Fr. Giovanni Manelli was conductor of the choir on this occasion. Our Lady of the Royal Hall, o pray for us!

Immaculate Music #28 – Christmas in Bloomington, In (04min) >>> Play
Ave Maria!
Well today is the last day of Christmas decorations at our friaries in the Franciscans of the Immaculate. Yes, we are slow to take them down, but since we are a Marian order, we extend the Christmas season to the last feastday in the Joyful Mysteries which is today, the Feast of the Presentation. Anyways, here is a beautiful video of the Christmas lights and decorations at our friary in Bloomington, IN. You will also get a good view of their new altar and sanctuary refurbishment. The music is by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate.
Let eternal light shine on them, Lord,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful.
Grant them eternal rest, Lord,
and let perpetual light shine on them,
as with Your saints in eternity,
because You are merciful. -

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine,
cum sanctis tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternum dona eis, Domine,
et Lux perpetua luceat eis,
cum Sanctus tuis in aeternum,
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
