On Wednesday, November 26, Holy Mass was celebrated in our Abbey Church in honor of Saint Cecilia, patron saint of sacred music. The liturgy, presided over by His Excellency Monsignor Carlo Maria Polvani, Secretary of the Dicastery for Culture and Education, was followed by the solemn diploma award ceremony.

The Eucharistic celebration was enriched by the participation of the PIMS polyphonic choir, directed by the students of Maestro Walter Marzilli's choir conducting course, accompanied by the students of Maestro Inga Behrendt's Gregorian chant class.

The evocative melodies of the organ, masterfully played by Sr. Cecilia Hong and Fr. Giacomo Lee, added further beauty to this moment of faith and art.
