Those Who Are Tardy (And Unorganized) Do Not Get Fruit Cup

From Kathy's latest handout:

Late arrivals cost us time and disrupt preparation before Mass. Please be on time and have your music ready BEFORE you arrive.  Your consideration is greatly appreciated by your fellow choir members.

Full disclosure: I have had problems with tardiness in the past, but I believe I've gotten much better.

Three Masses in Eight Days

According to our schedule, we'll be singing at three Masses in barely a week.  We'll be at the Cathedral for 11:30 AM Mass on Sunday, January 22; back at the Cathedral for the closing Mass of the Novena to St. Thomas Aquinas at 6:30 PM on Thursday, January 26; and at St. Peter Canisius in Sun Valley for 8:30 AM Mass on Sunday, January 29.  (That's the only Mass we have currently scheduled at St. Peter for this season.)

I think we can handle it.

Why Is RPC So Needed?

Because of all this.  (HT: Chant Cafe.)
