Hymn: Taste and See

At Communion time this morning in our parish of St. William the Abbot, the congregation sang the hymn "Taste and See the Lord is Good," based on Psalm 34:8. It was composed by Dr. James E. Moore, jr., a Black Catholic from Virginia, and from Cincinnati's Athenaeum seminary, where  he taught music. From 1984, Dr. Moore lived and taught in Vienna, Austria. He died there in 2022.
