I’d like to take this time to share a few updates about our music ministry which you may have already noticed. Firstly, our Children’s Choir has welcomed several new members, whose names you’ll see on the right side of this page. Secondly, sometime last July, our Worship Band welcomed an exceptionally talented new member, Tessa Jones, who used to sing with the St. Bart’s Children’s Choir. And thirdly, due to schedule-related challenges, Danielle Coles, who used to sing with our Worship Band, has opted to shift her service to cantoring for the 9:30 AM Family Mass. Danielle has proven to be a huge help at the 9:30, not just with the cantoring, but also with helping me adjust microphone placement for the kids in real-time and serving as an additional adult presence at rehearsals with the Children’s Choir (I tell ya, it’s not easy managing them kids!).
This Sunday, I’ve given the Adult Choir and Children’s Choir time off in light of their very hard work during Holy Week. Our Worship Band, however, will still be present at the 5:00 PM Mass, and we’ve prepared a special lineup for the 2nd Sunday of Easter, also known as Divine Mercy Sunday. If you happen to be at that Mass, we hope you’ll join us in singing one of our favorite songs that we only do around this time of year: the Easter Hallelujah based on Leonard Cohen’s tune, with alternate lyrics by Kelly Mooney. See you there!
With my peace,
Carlo Serrano, Music Director
