Georgetown Visitation

I had a little visit with the Sisters of the Visitation here in DC this evening. It was very nice; Vespers and a lovely dinner. (Or supper, actually.)

In case you are unfamiliar, the Sisters run a big, beautiful, top notch preparatory school for girls in Georgetown.

The Divine Office, which is chanted in choir, follows melodies composed by Abbot Marcel Rooney, OSB, who is, in liturgical matters, a Big Deal. His music is airy and intricate sounding; before this I was accustomed to plain chant.

The Sister's website is here. They also have a blog and a Facebook page.
