The Seminary Anthem 

O Mater Alma Providentiae, tui Dant filii salutem unico pectore Plena tibi dum voce carmen concinunt Amoris atque gratiae. Virtutis et scientiam recepimus Aetate prima sub tua dulcissima Protectione disciplinas. Ad bonum Adduc labores terminum. Tui ad pedes sacrarii egimus dies Laete. Parati nunc in altum progredi In Te, Deipara, fidem reponimus Maria, spes nostra, vale.

Woohoo! Cool to see someone dug deeeeeeeeeep into the Christus Vincit archives!

That anthem was written by the late Fr. Norman LeBoeuf, who was one of the seminary's earlier musicians. He had formed a chant school (back in the '50's) and hired Alex Peloquin to his faculty (not long after Dr. Peloquin started at the Cathedral of SS. Peter and Paul in Providence).

Chant school! You don't see those anymore (though St. Paul's Cambridge MA has an excellent choir school, as does the Madeleine in Salt Lake City UT)!

The Diocese of Providence is my Diocese! I actually work in a parish that was three parishes and has been consolidated into one.

Jen, is that the one in Woon. or in CF? Those are the only two consolidations I know of.
