Palm Beaches, Schola Cantorum

The Schola cantorum of the Palm Beaches, directed by Michael O’Connor, celebrated solemn Vespers for the Immaculate Conception at St Patrick Catholic Church in Palm Beach Gardens, FL in December. The cope worn by Father Andrew Bieley is a Portuguese-made vestment, with Marian embroidery and a blue lining, that was originally given to Cardinal O’Malley. He donated to Father Brian King (right) before leaving for Boston. Father Kevin Nelson (left) served as Master of Ceremonies.
