Music Notes:


This weekend (Sunday after First Friday) at 11 am our Mass

During July and August weekend Masses: at 5 pm and 8:30 am,
our Cantors continue to lead the music; at 11 am, the Parish Choir
is officially "on holiday" but some members may still be present
as their vacation plans permit. We welcome new members; if you
would like to join, visit with musicians after any Mass! Summer
commitment is Sunday mornings starting at 10 am; in August we
will re-add Thursday evening at 7:30 pm.
