The Silence of the Cardinals
Bp. Fellay - Clarity Needed to Move Forward
Raise your voice in Praise!
For over a thousand years, the Faithful have sung the Mass with joy. This is not a new, modern idea. In fact, this tradition goes back thousands of years. Historically, it was a high honour to be asked to sing. And we're asking now! Starting February 19th, members of the Choir will be positioned throughout the church for a few weeks to help us get comfortable with when to sing, and also to help give us more confidence with the parts. Please join in as your are able and sing to the Lord!
