In the search for meaningful, quality liturgical materials, our music ministry is mindful of including music or texts written by women. Since March is Women’s History Month, we celebrate and highlight women’s contributions to liturgical music by including their work in our weekend celebrations at SS. Isidore and Maria Parish. Here are some examples of what you’ve heard – and will hear – from women composers and lyricists in the world of liturgical music:
- March 12, Offertory: Healing River of the Spirit (BEACH SPRING) – Text by Ruth C. Duck
- March 19, Communion: Healing River of the Spirit (diff. tune) – Text by Ruth Duck; Music by Sally Ann Morris
- March 19, Recessional: To Love Just Those Who Love You (AURELIA) – Text by Rae E. Whitney
