The Durandus Institute for Sacred Liturgy & Music is pleased to announce its first collaboration on a liturgical event in the Byzantine Rite. On Saturday, May 31 – the eve of the seventh Sunday of Pascha and the Sunday of the Fathers of the First Ecumenical Council – we will be praying a Great Vespers & Lytia at the Ukrainian Greek-Catholic church of St Nicholas in Philadelphia, in celebration of the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicaea. The music will be sung by a men’s ensemble of chanters led by Fr. Herman Majkrzak. The event will also include a sermon preached by Fr. Samuel Keyes, a priest of the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter. Let both the eastern and western lungs of the Church join in celebration of this anniversary! The church is located at 871 N. 24th St in Philadelphia; the ceremony will begin at 5pm.
