Father, prayers would be greatly appreciated for the success of a small schola in Boise that is dedicated to the revival of Gregorian Chant (pursuant to the dictates of the LETTER of Vatican II, as distinguished from the "spirit"). This little group currently does not have a director, and its leading light is soldiering on in spite of resistance.
