Dear Partners in Ministry,
Just a quick post this week as we move ahead into the Easter Season:
TOMORROW NIGHT'S REHEARSAL: CANTORS ONLY
Our repertoire for the weekend is so familiar that I think it'd be a better use of rehearsal time to work with our cantors for the next four weekends. So, if you're assigned as cantor from April 14 to May 5, please join me as we'll help each other get our psalms in great shape. (I'll send an email to the cantors with more details)
For everyone else, you're off the hook for tomorrow night. Enjoy!
REMINDER: "ALL-CHOIR" FOR FIRST COMMUNION THIS SUNDAY
A reminder that we'll celebrate seven of our young parishioners who will make their First Communion this Sunday at the 11 am Mass. I would like to make this an "all-choir" Mass (meaning, please join us if at all possible). This will be the livestreamed Mass as well.
NOW THROUGH MAY 2: THE ULTIMATE MUSIC TURN-IN!
Our giant turn in project continues! With the exception of the specific pieces listed below, please return every score belonging to the parish that you currently have. Now, through May 2, there will be a drop box next to the music folders
If you can, please alphabetize your stack of music beforehand, as it'll help us sort them out later.
