In late March, composer Fr. Michael Joncas awoke during the night with an inspiration to write a piece in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a paraphrased text of Psalm 23, focusing primarily on verse two, "walking in the valley of the shadow of death," Fr. Joncas composed "O Shelter Me."
St. Maurice Director of Music, Norm Chapman, along with cantors Melissa Kaczmarski and Liz Kostandinu created this video rendition of "O Shelter Me" to offer comfort and hope to all of you during this difficult time. May God's sheltering love be upon you.
