LIKE TO SING?
Our two
choirs always welcome new members. The 9:00 choir practices on Wednesday
evening at 7:00 p.m. and on Sunday morning at 8:15 a.m. The 11:30 choir
practices on Tuesday evenings at 6:00p.m. You do not have to be able to read
music. We want to plan to have plenty of singers for Holy Thursday and
Good Friday (the 11:30 choir), and for the Holy Saturday Mass of the Easter
Vigil (the 9:00 choir). Sacrificing time to be at practices would be a
wonderful act of Lenten service. All practices are in the church. Come.
Give it a try.
