History
Saint Benignus did not know about
Jesus until he heard Saint Patrick of Ireland preach. Once he became a Christian,
Benignus became Saint Patrick’s “psalm singer” – in other words, he led the
singing and chanting when Saint Patrick celebrated Mass. Later, Benignus became
the bishop of Ireland.
Activity
Today, you can be a psalm singer,
too. Many of the hymns we sing at Mass are psalms set to music, such as Psalm 29. Pick your favorite and sing it out loud.
