JOURNAL - RICHARD C DUJARDIN WRITES:

"A SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT LASALETTE SHRINE, TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE HAVE CROWDED INTO THE CINDERBLOCK CHAPEL FOR A HEALING SERVICE LED BY THE "SINGING PRIEST". THE SERVICE HAS BEEN UNDER WAY FOR AN HOUR. THE REV. ANDRE PATENAUDE, KNOWN AS "FATHER PAT", LOOKS LIKE A WANDERING TROUBADOUR WITH HIS GUITAR STRAPPED OVER HIS SHOULDERS. HE HAS BEEN ENTERTAINING PEOPLE WITH LITANIES AND SONGS. HIS VOICE IS SOOTHING WITH A LILT OF HIS FALL RIVER FRENCH. HEALING SERVICES CAN BE EMOTIONAL EVENTS, AND THIS ONE IS NO EXCEPTION. THOUGH THE PRIEST IS LOW-KEY, THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE ROOM BECOMES HIGHLY CHARGED WHEN, AFTER A LENGTHY MASS AND MUCH CLAPPING AND SINGING, PEOPLE PROCEED TO THE ALTAR TO BE ANOINTED WITH HOLY OIL. ABOUT A DOZEN PARTICIPANTS FALL OVER AT THE SINGING PRIEST'S TOUCH; A PHENOMENON THAT PEOPLE IN THE CHARISMATIC RENEWAL REFER TO AS BEING "SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT". A MAN AND THREE WOMEN BURST INTO TEARS BUT EMERGE FROM THE SERVICE SMILING, AS IF THE TEARS WERE A NECESSARY PART OF THEIR INNER HEALING. FATHER PAT SEEMS TO TAKE THESE THINGS IN STRIDE. HE SAYS HE ALWAYS FEELS VERY HUMBLE WHEN HE SEES GOD'S SPIRIT MOVING PEOPLE THROUGH HIS SONGS...........Richard C. DuJardin |

PRIEST
CARRYING GUITAR TAKES MUSICAL APPROACH TO RELIGION!
WRITES GERALD RENNER HE STARTED SINGING WHEN HE WAS A LITTLE BOY. THEN, FOR HIS OWN AMUSEMENT, HE LEARNED TO PLAY A 12 STRING GUITAR WHILE STUDYING TO BECOME A PRIEST. "I NEVER THOUGHT THAT MUSIC WOULD BE AS STRONG A DIMENSION IN MY LIFE AS IT HAS BECOME", SAID THE REV. ANDRE A. PATENAUDE. A TROUBADOUR PRIEST FROM ATTLEBORO MA, PATENAUDE HAS RECORDED 16 ALBUMS AND CD'S OF SONGS HE COMPOSED, AND HAS A GROWING REPUTATION FOR HIS HEALING SERVICES. KNOWN AS FATHER PAT, HE MADE HIS SINGING DEBUT IN CONNECTICUT WEDNESDAY DURING THE DAILY MASS BROADCAST LIVE AT 11AM BY THE ARCHDIOCESE OF HARTFORD OVER WVIT-TV CHANNEL 30. WITH HIS GUITAR STRAPPED OVER HIS SHOULDER, PATENAUDE PERFORMED HYMNS OF PRAISE, WORSHIP AND THANKSGIVING WITH A GENTLE FERVOR. HE SINGS IN A CLEAR TENOR VOICE THAT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN HIM TO THE TOP OF THE POP CHARTS IF HE SANG LOVE BALLADS. BY GERALD RENNER - COURANT RELIGION WRITER-HARTFORD COURANT |
