When the Shrine resounded with praise

Every seat was taken. Extra rows of chairs had been set out behind the main seating area, and on Sunday, Aug. 16, 2026, the church was filled with parishioners, pilgrims, and visitors gathered for The Sun, the Stars, and the Queen of Heaven, an afternoon of sacred music that became something more than a concert – a programme that moved from great jubilation to moments of tenderness and prayer.
