Above, young singers from my diocese take Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina back to the capital of the world — Pueri Cantores of Daegu sing "Adoramus Te Christe" at Rome's Pontificium Collegium Coreanum.

An American Catholic in Rome who saw the performace writes of being "on the verge of tears," "overcome with emotion," and "in utter astonishment" upon hearing what "was like nothing [he] ha[d] ever heard in all of his sad life" and reflecting on "the beauty, but also the loss" — Pueri Cantores of Daegu: glory from the Orient! "They ought to be world famous and sing for the Pope in private audience," he says.

To think, these kids visited my parish a few months ago and, busy fool that I am, I did not attend. I'm sure the chance to hear them will come soon.
