This is a cell-phone video. Hopefully the next one will be of higher quality, but with a vow of poverty, we don't have a superabundance of high tech tools! The Daughters of St. Paul have released over a dozen CDs. Their music has been featured in three motion pictures: A Bronx Tale, Lorenzo's Oil and Noel. See them in person:
Dec. 2, NYC (St. Malachy's Church)
Dec. 3, Princeton, NJ (St. Paul's; 3:00 pm)
Dec. 6, Philadelphia (benefit concert)
Dec. 9 and 10, Boston (www.pauline.org for info)

  • What happened to the lovely Christmas hymns sung reverently by our Catholic nuns? This was more like a high school production. Not to be a Scrooge, but Our Lord deserves much better.

  • We sing lovely Christmas hymns reverently, too. But the fun songs we are singing all have a message. The Latin expression for what we are engaged in here is "sancta hilaritas." (It was the hallmark of St. Philip Neri's ministry in the 1500's.) The concerts have won people back to the practice of their faith by witnessing that solemn piety and reverence are not the sole expressions of love of God.

  • This year we performed in New York, Princeton, Philadelphia and Boston. Where are you?

  • Thumbs up to the nuns who starched their blouses! Shintô no o-miko-san always look so perfectly attired: Catholics should attain the same the level of attired perfection.

  • you are gifted with your voices and your energy....long may you last...

  • - '...From this galaxy (the Internet) will the face of Christ emerge and the voice of Christ be heard? For it is only when His face is seen and His voice heard that the world will know the glad tidings of our redemption, therefore, I dare to summon the whole Church bravely to cross this new threshold, to put out on to the deep of the Net, so that now as in the past the great engagement of the Gospel and culture may show to the world ' the Glory of God on the Face of Christ.' (Pope John Paul II)

  • My preference is for the traditional hymns, but Cathmomof32b, the Daughters of St. Paul get a pass if they want to branch out. This order has done some amazing work and I can't fault them for exploring other music types at all.

  • I'm so glad you're in my family! Excellent work! Our Founder would be so proud of you all- lovely voices!

  • Keep on singing!Might try uploading video at higher resolution.

  • What a great video! I wish I could have seen the concert.
