1989 ACP Open House and Vespers
In December, 1989, the New World, a newspaper of the Archdiocese of Chicago, published an article on the move of American Catholic Press to Seton Academy.

This liturgy took place in the chapel at Seton Academy in South Holland. On that occasion, ACP had an open house, to celebrate our new quarters, in the former convent of the high school.

 | Father Ray Tillrock, pastor of St. Barnabas in Chicago, reads the short Scripture reading, the capitulum.
|
 | The Magnificat is the last of the biblical songs: How Great Is God, from the Gospel of Luke. Sung to the tune of Amazing Grace, the Magnificat is sung by the whole congregation, spontaneously, in four parts. Remarkably, the people know their parts from memory.
|
 | At the conclusion of Vespers, all sing the Our Father together. Above, from the left, are Carolyn Van Dril, Frank Termini, Evelyn Deabel, Alice & Bob Sholeen, and Father Ray Tillrock.
