Catholic Hymnal: Lourdes Hymn with words and descant - Immaculate Mary
A holy and happy feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
Dearest Jane, How lovely to hear "Immaculate Mary" this morning! A few days of rest have set me on my feet again and early Tuesday I will return to Tulsa.
This is my all time favorite hymn. It brings back memories of grade school - it would give me goose bumps when 1600 of us sang it in church. Do you know the name of the choir in this? It's sad that we rarely sing these old hymns anymore. Lenore

My dear Father,
So glad to hear from you.
God speed for Tuesday!
With my prayers always,

Hooray! A Catholic hymn. I keep wondering why our hymns of verve and fervour have been supplanted by dreary Anglican ones in so many of our churches.

Lenore: I think it's Westminster Cathedral Choir, London.
It is still sung all the time in Lourdes, but sadly, as you say is now rather a rarity in most parishes.
