Caritas Chamber Chorale will present a series of three a cappella choral concerts entitled A Heart at Peace
on the weekend of June 12-14, 2026. The program considers the many diverse moments when we find mercy and peace. Ultimately, our music leads us to the One who is the source of all peace. A freewill offering benefits the Adorno Fathers’ African Mission.
From 16th century English motets, through early American sacred music, to choral works composed by a plethora of gifted living composers, this program views peace, and our relationship to it, from many perspectives.
Featured works include local composer Mark A. Miller’s Dona Nobis Pacem, Caritas Composer in Residence Wayne Dietterick’s The Peace-Pipe on a Longfellow poem, and an original three-part work on the peace of one’s later years by Caritas charter member Chris Rath, entitled Let in the Grace. Also, don’t miss Martin Åsander’s Peace, Lucy Walker’s Give Me Your Stars and Dan Forrest’s Good Night Dear Heart, among many others.
The program’s title, A Heart at Peace, expresses our wish for you.
The concert will be presented on:
·Friday, June 12, 2026, 7:30 pm at the Church of St. Ann, 1253 Lawrenceville Rd., Lawrenceville, NJ 08648
·Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 7:30 pm at St. Vincent DePaul Church, 250 Bebout Ave., Stirling, NJ 07980
·Sunday, June 14, 2026, at 4 pm at Mount St. Mary’s Academy Chapel, 1645 Rt. 22 W., Watchung, NJ 07069. This concert will feature a women’s ensemble from Mount St. Mary’s Academy.
The concerts are free and open to the public. The entirety of a freewill offering will benefit the Pierluigi Fabbiani Nursery School, the Gianni Diurni Primary School, and the Foyer de l’Enfance Paolo Di Nardo Orphanage, run by the Adorno Fathers’ St. Francis Caracciolo Mission in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa. 
Since its founding in 2005, Caritas’ audiences have supported the Adorno Fathers’ St. Francis Caracciolo Mission in DRC, Africa through freewill offerings.
Caritas Chamber Chorale is a community choir of approximately 20 singers who are dedicated to serving the poorest of the poor through the art of sacred music. The Chorale is directed by Barbara Sanderman and assisted by Wayne Dietterick. Visit us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Spotify.
