PLEASE CHECK THIS POST EACH DAY UNTIL CHRISTMAS FOR ANY NEW INFORMATION! Thanks.
Dear Partners in Ministry,
Greetings from my Covid cave. Just in time for the holidays, our pesky pandemic is ramping up— two of our choir members and a fellow staff member are now sick. I am officially cleared to leave quarantine tonight, but will be KN95-ing it all weekend.
We definitely need tomorrow's rehearsal, but I'm going to see if it would be possible to livestream it or Zoom it for those of you who'd rather stay home. Stay tuned.
Regardless, I will keep my mask on throughout the rehearsal, keep my distance, and wear a lapel mic.
One way or another, darn it, we're celebrating Christmas!
REHEARSAL NOTES
Pick up/Turn in: nothing. We'll wait until January 12 to turn in anything further.
We'll run everything for all four Masses in order.
No rehearsal next week; enjoy your holidays!
