Notes

The Creed in five languages, including Syriac.

St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Maspeth, New York. 28 April 2019. Fr. Joseph Palackal, CMI and the students of St. Stanislaus Kostka Catholic Academy of Queens, New York. The occasion was the celebration of the 40th anniversary of Ordination of Fr. Joseph Palackal, CMI.

Note When the Parish decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of my priestly ordination, I suggested we celebrated with a bilingual Syro Malabar Qurbana. The choir went along with the idea and learned the music that i co-composed with George Thaila. The singers also learned two Syriac chants, Puqdankon and Qandisa alaha. The students of the Academy had already learned to sing the Creed in four different languages. So we added Syriac to the list. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. This was the first time the parishioners of St. Stans got an opportunity to experience mass in an Eastern rite as well as chants in Syriac. The response was very positive.
