Thanks to those who were able to help out with music coverage for the Penance Service on Monday night! I cantored, Kristen played piano and sang alto, and Rose and Steve sang melody. We ended up making it through the printed program most of two times with some additional instrumental songs in the middle.
This weekend marks the final Saturday/Sunday of Lent. I based our Palm Sunday program on what was done the last go around. Note that the format for the first half of Mass is a bit different -- for reference, here's our 2015 program. The format hasn't been confirmed, though, stay tuned for any changes.
Sadly, this will be Kristen's last Mass with us. Again, huge thanks for joining us this past month and adding so much to our Ministry!
OK, now on to the Holy Week. Below is the tentative plan, with more details to follow:
Palm Sunday (3/19):
- Regular 4:30 PM practice and 5:30 PM Mass.
- Rehearsal after Mass from 7:00-8:30 PM - review Good Friday/Easter Sunday programs.
Holy Thursday (3/24):
- Mass at 7:00 PM.
- Barb's group is covering -- feel free to join them!
Good Friday (3/25):
- Arrive by 1:00 PM to setup/run the program.
- Service at 2:00 PM.
- Jonathan will be covering guitar (Jim is unavailable).
- Joanne will likely be covering piano.
Easter Vigil (3/26):
- Note: there will not be regular 5:30 PM Mass.
- Vigil at 8:30 PM (?).
- Barb's group is covering -- feel free to join them!
Easter Sunday (3/27):
- Arrive by 8:00 AM to setup/run the program (Parish Hall).
- Preludes begin at ~8:45 AM.
- Mass at 9 AM.
- It sounds like Jim (and Tom?) will be covering guitar.
- No piano coverage.
If we need more practice time before Good Friday, perhaps we could get together on Wednesday evening (3/23)? Lets see how things look on Saturday night and go from there.
Also, please let me know your availability for the Masses we're covering so we have a better idea of what our numbers look like. This especially goes for Good Friday, since that service is in the middle of the work day.
Ken, Deb and Mary are out this week.
