When a mountain climber moves to Amarillo, what wins him over? “Mountains in reverse.” ️ Dr. Greg Onofrio of St. Mary’s Cathedral shares how Palo Duro Canyon helped shape his love for the Diocese of Amarillo, plus the behind-the-scenes story of the Centennial hymn “Gladly I Adore.” From a last-minute “theme song” request to a prayer-filled spark of inspiration, he walks through what it takes to compose for a 100-year celebration. Add in a choir without walls, an orchestra on the arena floor, and a Mass in a hockey arena — and you get a once-in-a-century celebration of faith in sound.
