Elders Help The Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles Record Christmas CD
Christmas at Ephesus is the new CD by the Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles. Think harmonies, medieval chants, carols, that sort of thing.
Last year the sisters recorded their first CD, called Echoes of Ephesus. 60,000 copies of it were sold or given out. One of the people to listen to it was Ireland’s Ian Byrne of The Elders. The Catholic Key reports that
through Byrne, the sisters connected with Steve Phillips, a recording engineer and musician with the local Irish band. With his assistance, the CD was recorded at Conception Abbey, where the acoustics are just right.

The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, have been based temporarily up at NE 42nd Terrace in Kansas City since 2006 when invited by Bishop Finn to transfer to the community, but they are currently seeking to build a traditional, rural, and permanent Priory, so they can continue their imitation of Mary in earnest.
The CDs, Christmas at Ephesus and Echoes of Ephesus, are available for purchase for $20 online at the Benedictine community’s website
