The Durandus Institute for Sacred Liturgy and Music is sponsoring a special event for the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Presentation of the Lord: pontifical Vespers in Latin, followed by Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, will be in candlelight by candlelight at Old St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City. A chamber orchestra will play Antonio Vivaldi’s settings of the psalms and Magnificat. The ceremony will begin at 7pm on Friday, February 2; the church is located at 263 Mulberry Street.
