The Deacon's Bench
Some longtime readers may remember the great story of Grant Desme, star player for the Oakland A’s, who left the A’s farm team last year to join the seminary — in fact, entering St. Michael’s Abbey, to begin formation with the Norbertines in Orange County in California. I just stumbled on this beautifully produced video, below, which gives a glimpse into their life. (Kudos to the Norbertines: they have their own YouTube channel!) Evidently, they’re big in the music biz, too, and have a recording of their chant available.
