Eucharistic Poetry

This evening (Tuesday) I will be giving a presentation on the Eucharistic Poetry of St. Thomas Aquinas at the National Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi on Vallejo between Grant and Columbus in North Beach, San Francisco. The talk will begin at 7:15 and will focus on Lauda Sion, the sequence for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi and Pange Linga, the hymn that will be sung on both Corpus Christi as well as when the Eucharist is removed at the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday.

The talk is free and should last about an hour, depending on the enthusiasm of the question and answer section. So if you are in the Bay Area and want to sing some beautiful plainsong and hear a little bit about a side of St. Thomas Aquinas that is not as well known as his prose work, be sure to come!
