22 men from the Brothers of the Little Oratory, Chorus Breviarii San Diego, Chorus Breviarii Murrieta, the serving corps of Holy Martyrs Ordinariate Parish, and the altar guild of St. Anne joined and assisted Fr. Liebert in the celebration of St. Thomas' Vespers during O Tide. Due to the various furnishings present in the sanctuary in preparation for Christmas, those in choir sat in the first two rows of pews. For the Murrieta crew, this was their fourth O Antiphon out of the five they were able to organize this year across Southern California.

On December 21, the Brothers of the Little Oratory and Chorus Breviarii San Diego will be joined by our sister group from Riverside County, Chorus Breviarii Murrieta, to celebrate 2nd Vespers of St. Thomas at St. Anne Catholic Church. The once doubtful Apostle came to suffer martyrdom in India after bringing the Faith to the pagan land's shores, with many of the descendants of these first Indian Christians forming the still-extant Syro-Malabar Church. 

Additionally, there will be a commemoration of the O Antiphon for the day, where our Lord is referred to by his title as "the Orient," referring to Christ as the Light that rises in the East that dispels the darkness of night.

Please check the link and poster below for the full schedule of Chorus Breviarii's O Tide celebration, especially if you are within the Riverside County area.
