WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL TO OUR FAITHFUL CLERGY who celebrate Mass every Saturday evening at St. Stephen’s: Fr. Edmund Bliven, Fr. Jon Buffington and Fr. Robert Paladino. It is not without considerable sacrifice that these three priests undertake their tasks week after week. It is particularly noteworthy that Fr. Bliven celebrated the 62nd anniversary of his priesthood in St. Stephen’s on the 24th of March.
OUR TENOR SOLOIST AND CANTOR, BRIAN TIERNEY, is slowly but surely recovering from his wounds.Please continue to pray for his well-being. If you would like to make a contribution to his financial support, please visit the Web site www.friendsofbt.com.
MORE FREQUENT FLIER MILES are still needed for this year’s William Byrd Festival. Fortunately, we were able to collect enough miles for two of our participants, including Bishop Meeking. One more ticket is required. A round-trip ticket takes 250,000 miles, and a one-way ticket can be purchased with 125,000 miles. If you can help with this most worthy project, please contact Dean Applegate as soon as possible at 971.227.8740.
THE FIFTEENTH ANNUAL WILLIAM BYRD FESTIVAL will take place between the 10th and the 26th of August. We have every expectation that Dr. Richard Marlow will be able to join us for this year’s festival since he has had wonderful success with chemotherapy in Cambridge.

ON MEMORIAL DAY, Monday, May 28, at 7:30 PM, the choir will sing the Requiem Mass of Giovanni Francesco Anerio for the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. It is worth noting that Anerio is one of very few
Renaissance composers who set the Sequence Dies irae polyphonically. Fr. Vincent Kelber, O.P., will celebrate Mass in Latin according to the Dominican Rite.
