Inspire more women and men of faith and
compassion
to serve as lay ministers and deacons
sisters, brothers and priests.
Fill them with your Spirit of Wisdom
to proclain the Good News and
to witness your presence among us.
O, God, You have asked us to pray for vocations; that there might be young men and women willing to give their lives for the sake of souls. Hear our prayer and the prayers of your Church and send us good and holy priests and religious. We offer you this day, all we shall think, do or say for this intention, through Christ, Our Lord, Amen.
O God, You call all in Your Church to live a holy life. Like a wise harvest master, clearly call laborers to reap the harvest of souls. May some become holy priests, formed by the Gospel; may some find their way to religious communities filled with love for You. Inspire them by Your Holy Spirit to leave their way of life and share the work of Your Son Who lives forever and ever. Amen.
The American pianist, Paul Maillet, studied with
Cecile Genhart under full scholarship at the
Eastman School of Music, and with Leon Fleisher
and Leonard Shure at the Peabody Conservatory.
He then went on to study with Dorothy Taubman,
with whom he studied for 12 years. He has won
numerous competitions. Paul Maillet has received
enthusiastic acclaim for his recital
performances worldwide and played soloist with
orchestras in Europe, North America, Asia and
South America. He performed concertos with the
Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and the Baltimore
Symphony Orchestra. His solo and chamber music
recitals include appearances at the Kennedy
Center and at Weill Recital Hall. In 1995, he
discerned a call to ordained ministry in the
Roman Catholic Church. After beginning his
seminary formation, he continued to perform in
the USA and Europe when his studies in
philosophy and theology permitted. During this
period, a CD of a critically acclaimed live
performance at Williams College was released in
1999. Paul Maillet was ordained to the
priesthood in 2001 for the Archdiocese of
Baltimore. After two years of parish ministry in
Baltimore, he went on to teach Latin, Greek and
Sacred Scripture at St. Patrick's Seminary in
Menlo Park, California. He now lives in
Washington DC and is studying towards a
doctorate in Biblical Studies at the Catholic
University of America in preparation for
teaching at the seminary level as a member of
the Society of Saint Sulpice. His experience as
a teacher of piano and other music courses
include positions at the Peabody Institute, the
Eastman School of Music, Loyola College in
Baltimore, and the Taubman Institute at Amherst
(and later at Williams), as well as lectures and
master-classes in the USA and Asia. He continues
to perform and most recently has given lectures
and a master-class at Lincoln Center as a member
of the Taubman Seminar faculty.
Rev. Phil Brown, a member of the Society of St.
Sulpice, is currently Assistant Professor of
Canon Law at the Catholic University of America.
Prior to that he was Dean of the School of
Theology, Associate Professor of Canon Law and a
member of the formation faculty at St. Mary's
Seminary & University.
Fr. Brown graduated from the University of
Michigan in 1974 with a Bachelor's Degree in
Music. He completed a degree in civil law at the
University of North Dakota in 1979, and a
Bachelor's Degree in Sacred Theology at the
Catholic University of America in 1989. He was
ordained a priest of the Diocese of Bismarck, ND
in 1989 where he served as Parochial Vicar,
Pastor and high school chaplain in the Minot, ND
area until 1995 when he began his studies in
canon law at the Pontifical Gregorian University
in Rome. He completes an JCL (license, 1997) and
JCD (doctorate) summa cum laude in 1999.
Fr. Brown taught piano to beginning and
intermediate students for several years in his
early career, and among his musical achievements
is the composition of an operetta "The Trial of
Louis Riel" which premiered at the University of
North Dakota in 1978. The operetta tells the
story of the legendary Louis Riel who led a
rebellion of Métis Indians and French Canadians
against the British government in Canada in the
late 19th century. The theme was suggested to
Fr. Brown by one of his law professors, and Fr.
Brown found it attractive because, as he says,
"Riel always struck me as a Hamlet-like figure:
Was he a genius, or a madman? A tragic figure:
romantic and idealistic; the prototype of
leaders of noble and just but lost causes.
