Dear Partners in Ministry,
While I have a minute between finalizing the concert program and heading to tonight's GIFT session, let's talk turkey (or, at least, things happening near Turkey Day!)
Friday, Nov 18: BROKEN · SHARED: Christian, Luke, and Tony in Concert
Please join us Friday night for a concert of original liturgical music by myself and two of my dearest friends! We'll present fifteen pieces—some of which you've already learned since I showed up— that take us through a spiritual meditation on what the last two years have meant for us as people of faith. 7:30 pm concert, free to all... bring a friend!
And: as you're (hopefully) enjoying the music, please keep track of songs you think we might enjoy adding to our parish repertoire.
Nov 19–20: Solemnity of Christ the King
Our last Sunday of the liturgical year is upon us! See below for selections.
Thursday, Nov 24: Thanksgiving Day
All are welcome to join me in ministry for our Thanksgiving Day Mass at 9:00 am. And, of course, no rehearsal that night.
Nov 26–27: Advent is ON!
