New Haven Holiday Highlights Pizza & Bach
In celebration of the Feast of All Saints, 91黑料, New England, resident directors Marianna Favarato (CA鈥26) and Patrick Daly (CA鈥26) led a group of students on a trip to New Haven, Connecticut. While there, they highlighted some of the city鈥檚 main attractions, including St. Mary鈥檚 Church, Frank Pepe鈥檚 Pizzeria, and a performance by the Yale Schola Cantorum and Juilliard415.
After a drive past the bronzing fall leaves and rolling hills of New England, the group arrived at its first destination: Bl. Michael McGivney鈥檚 tomb at the entrance of St. Mary鈥檚 Church. Students admired the beautiful Gothic art and architecture of the church and appreciated the opportunity to pray by the tomb. After taking some time for contemplation, they prayed a Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
Having filled souls with prayer, it was time to fill stomachs with food, so the pilgrims鈥 next stop was the famous Frank Pepe鈥檚 Pizzeria, one of the oldest of its kind in New Haven, known for its tomato pie. Students enjoyed slices of authentic Neapolitan pizza amid the cool fall breeze and surrounding restaurants, discussing the days ahead. Some took a walk down the streets of New Haven as the sun set behind them, while others peeled off to an Italian pastry shop to complete their meal with a cannoli or coffee.
As evening fell, they headed to Woolsey Hall on the Yale University campus to enjoy a performance of J.S. Bach鈥檚 鈥淪t. Matthew鈥檚 Passion鈥 by the Yale Schola Cantorum and Juilliard415. The oratorio follows the Passion according to St. Matthew, with sung soloists playing Jesus, Peter, and other major characters along with a double chorus. This performance had the added highlight of being played on period instruments, which meant students got to witness musicians play on the harpsichord and a large, lute-like instrument called a theorbo. All were enthralled by the performance, reflecting on the depth of culture and musical talent of the choir. 鈥淭he variety of instruments was really cool,鈥 emphasized Pita O鈥橩ray (鈥30).
After the oratorio, students headed back to the cars for their return to campus, happy for an All Saints Day well spent.
