<sod>On 19 April 2013, the Choir, presented a concert of sacred music in the [Sé Catedral] Cathedral Church at Old Goa, to commemorate the "Year of Faith 2012–2013", proclaimed by [[Pope Benedict XVI]] and celebrated by Catholics worldworld. [] This solemn concert of Sacred Catholic music was presented by 140 dedicated artists (88 singers and 51 musicians), mostly youngsters. The evening began with the rendition of the [[Pontifical Anthem]] (by ''[[Gounod]]''), in honour of the See of Peter. After introductory words by the Parish Priest of the Cathedral, Fr. Leonardo Correia, the Choir sang some simple Catholic prayer-formulas, viz. "Santa Khursachi Kuru" (the [[Sign of the Cross]], in Konkani), "Abun d'bashmayo" (the [[Lord's Prayer|Our Father]] as believed by the Catholic Church to have been actually prayed by Jesus in the original Aramaic-Syrian chant), "Namaste Mary'yame" (the [[Hail Mary]], in Sanskrit Vedic chant), all composed and arranged by ''Rev. Romeo Monteiro''. "Mhoima Bapak", a Konkani doxology to the Holy Trinity, composed by ''Rev. Bernardo Cota'', ended the first part of the Concert. The second part of the performance consisted of a rendition of different versions of the Creed that encapsulates the faith of the Catholic Church. Three models of creeds were chosen for the evening: the traditional Latin [[Credo]] (in ''[[Gregorian chant]]''), [[Credo]] from the famous [[Coronation Mass]] (by ''[[W. A. Mozart]]''), and finally "Sot'mantam" in Konkani (by ''Fr. Monteiro''). The third part of the Musical Concert contained the Easter proclamation through the work of the reputed German composer ''[[L. van Beethoven]]'' - [[Hallelujah Chorus]] from [[Christus am Ölberge]] - [[Christ on the Mount of Olives]]. This was followed by a Goan version of the Easter invocation to Mary, [[Regina caeli]] (arranged by ''Maestro Rev. [[Lourdino Barreto]]'' and orchestrated by ''Fr. Monteiro''). The traditional Goan "Exultemos com alegria", in Portuguese (arranged by ''Fr. Monteiro''), ended the evening bringing nostalgic memories of this hymn which used to be sung at Litanies in Goa.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nri.goa.gov.in/santa_cecilia_choir.html|title=NRI Commission of Goa|publisher=}}</ref><eod>
