The last “official” Ensemble Choir appearance was this past Sunday, the Feast of Pentecost.

I am so grateful for the support of all involved in our Music Ministry this past year.  Members of the Ensemble Choir, Schola, 6pm Mass musicians, Resurrection Choir, Children’s Choir and our keyboardists, instrumentalists, soloists, cantors and music librarians and helpers deserve many thanks for their countless hours of dedication and service.

I am sure all of them join me in thanking our parishioners who have supported us by your encouragement, support, and thanks this year.  By joining us in raising your voices in songs of praise to God, you have enriched our liturgies.

The choir will return in the fall, refreshed and renewed.  As always, we are looking forward to new members joining us for our Eucharistic Celebrations.

My wish for all of you is to have a happy, safe summer filled with music.  Remember to sing out at Mass wherever you are, and to “keep a song in your hearts.”

                                     Gratefully, Katie Schafer
