Dear Partners in Ministry,
As you may know by now, we will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis this Friday at 7:00 pm. A number of details are still being finalized, but we do know what our music selections will be, and that all are certainly welcome to gather and celebrate the life of our 266th Pope.
I'll update this post as more details are finalized.
Music Ministry: I would like as close to full choir as possible for this liturgy! Please read on for the details.
Peace be with you,
Tony
