Mass last week was pretty solid. Special thanks to Grace for cantoring, and Eva for the last-minute piano coverage. It was also nice to have Maggie back after a few weeks without a melodic instrument.
The music for June has been sent to the Office for approval.
I'm considering a major redesign of the website using a much more modern template. The current site is functional and has served us well, but I've just about reached the limit of what I can do with it. Stay tuned for more info on this.
Mass for Ascension is this Wednesday, 05/24, at 7 PM. Barb's group is covering. Feel free to come join in the singing.
Looking ahead, 06/03 is Pentecost, as well as Time & Talent weekend. Please plan to wear red (Father gave me one of the new t-shirts, so I guess that's a hint :-). This is also a chance to recruit new musicians. We usually don't have much luck, but I'll give the obligatory announcement anyway and will stick around for a bit afterwards. If anyone else is free to do the same, that would be great.
Father also requested that I pick a new Gathering or Closing song for Pentecost. The song I've selected (pending approval) is GC3 #555, Spirit Blowing Through Creation. The tune is vaguely familiar, but we haven't done it before as far as I know. Please take some time to look at this (here). Let's also tentatively plan to meet at 4 PM that Saturday to go through it.
I've asked Eva to cover for me this week. As always, please email, call or text if you need anything; otherwise, I'll leave you guys to it.
If I don't see you, Happy Memorial Day!
