Tradition, Music, and the Communion of Memory

Draw on centuries-old tradition of singing Psalms and Canticles in the Liturgy of the Hours to discover a conceptual framework for bringing your own experiences, ideas, and musical background into creative conversation with liturgy and prayer. Experience Rhythms of Faith—no musical experience required!

Listen in to an engaging conversation between Kimberly Belcher ‘03 MA, ‘09 Ph.D., associate professor of theology, J. J. Wright ‘14 MSM, ‘17 DMA, Grammy® Award winner and Director of the Notre Dame Folk Choir, and Fr. Kevin Grove, C.S.C., Professor of Theology and Director of the Master of Divinity Program at the University of Notre Dame. A priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Fr. Kevin reflects on the ways memory, desire, and tradition shape the Christian life. The conversation ranges from the scriptural meaning of anamnesis to Augustine’s insights on memory and community, weaving in liturgical music, daily practice, and the vulnerability of sharing faith with others. Along the way, Fr. Kevin shares stories from life on campus, his Montana roots, and even his favorite “liturgical banger.”
