For those of you in the part of the country where Eastern Catholicism is mostly to be found (New Jersey and Maryland straight across to Michigan, for the most part), a concert series you will want to know about: The seminary choir from the Blessed Paul Gojdich Seminary in Presov, Slovakia, will be performing from September 24th to October 23rd. Here is their schedule and here is the program . The series is called, as you may have guessed already, “Let the Earth be Glad!”
I have not heard this choir, but last year went to a similar concert given by the choir from the Ukrainian Catholic seminary, and it was wonderful. Not to be missed, which is not something I say very often.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
