Let us remember...the liturgical leaders

As we mark the 43rd anniversary of Sacrosanctum Concilium today, December 4, please remember the following liturgical leaders in your prayers. Below is their date of death and location of ministry.

Thanks to Gary Feldhege, music editor for Liturgical Press, for beginning and maintaining this annual remembrance.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us rid ourselves of every burden and sin that clings to us and persevere in running the race that lies before us
while keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader and perfecter of faith." (Hebrews 12:1-2)
