First Vespers of St. Michael was attended well with about 86 people in attendance, including our own Fratellino in the loft on the organ, and the 16 men in the sanctuary. We were joined by two priests, with Fr. Aaron Liebert, F.S.S.P. as hebdomadary, and the Byzantine Catholic chaplain to
Wyoming Catholic College, Fr. David
Anderson, sitting in choir. Two members of Chorus Breviarii Murrieta and two students at John Paul the Great Catholic University in Escondido also came down to join us in choir. Many thanks to them. We would also like to thank one of the St. Anne Choir members who joined us tonight for bringing a
relic of St. Michael the Archangel for us to place on the altar. For many of the young adults in attendance, this could very well be their first exposure to the liturgical celebration of Vespers, particularly within a parish setting. We pray that the night's ceremonies added to their rejoicing in the Feast of the Guardian Angel of Holy Church, St. Michael the Archangel.
