Artist History Chorus Breviarii (Choir of the Breviary) San Diego is a weekly study and prayer group established in January 2001, undertaking an inquiry of the traditional rites and offices of the Roman Breviary and its chant. The group is guided by John Polhamus, a liturgical musician experienced in the traditional rites and offices of the 1962 liturgical books now re-approved for use since 1984.  Though often relegated to concert performances, Gregorian chants are, in reality, inseparable from Church at prayer.  Tenebrae and the Office of the Dead being the principal large liturgies of the year, the institution of frequent Sunday Parish Vespers - as encouraged by the documents of the second Vatican Council - represent the majority of the year's activities.  Gregorian Chant, a form capable of endless refinement, is also accessible to the most untrained of beginners.  If your spiritual aspiration is to pray in this way, don't hesitate to join us.  Men are particularly encouraged to participate due to the requirements of liturgical function, but invitation is open to all.  There is no fee for attendance, but nominal expenses will be incurred for the provision of music. Chorus Breviarii San Diego meets on Monday evenings from 7 to 10 pm at: St. Maximilian Kolbe, Roman Catholic Polish Mission 1735 Grand Avenue (West off I-5), Pacific Beach, San Diego 92109.
