Caritas Chamber Chorale presents From a Sincere Heart – Benefit Concert
to benefit of the Adorno Fathers’ African Mission
Caritas Chamber Chorale will present a series of three a cappella choral concerts entitled From a Sincere Heart on the weekend of October 24-26, 2025. The program explores some of the many ways we are drawn to faith and one another. A freewill offering benefits the Adorno Fathers’ African Mission.
From the call of Love itself to night’s beckoning, the music uncovers our experience of faith and our commitment to God and to one another. Comprised of a compelling selection of choral anthems, folk tunes, and lively spirituals, the centerpiece of the program is Maurice Duruflé’s timeless Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens, Op. 10. Also featured is Caritas charter member Christopher Rath’s recent setting of the hymn Love Is His Word. Further, the Chorale lovingly offers Frank Ticheli’s transcendent Earth Song for all suffering from violence in Eastern Congo, where the Adorno Fathers’ African Mission operates.
The program’s title, From a Sincere Heart, echoes the text of the ancient Ubi caritas chant, and is our promise to you.
The concert will be presented on:
• Friday, October 24, 2025, 7:30 pm at All Saints’ Church, 559 Park Avenue Scotch Plains, NJ
• Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 7:30 pm at Our Lady of Mt. Virgin Church, 600 Harris Ave., Middlesex, NJ
• Sunday, October 26, 2025, at 3 pm at St. Catharine Church, 215 Essex Ave., Spring Lake, NJ.

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.
