Breaking News: New Cathedral Rector Named

^ "you're," of course.

Fr. Chuck Durante, current pastor of St. Teresa of Avila in Carson City, will become the new rector of St. Thomas Aquinas Cathedral as of July 1, 2018.
In making the announcement at tonight's 5 PM Mass, outgoing rector Fr. Jacob Carazo noted that Fr. Chuck was a longtime parishioner of the Cathedral and graduated from Bishop Manogue High, where he later served as chaplain. He is the Vicar General of the Diocese of Reno and heads its Life, Peace and Justice Commission.

Exactly what this augurs for Regina Pacis Cantorum is far from certain; I'm sure we'll be on Fr. Chuck's checklist, but it may take him a while to get to us, which is most understandable. Remember that although we do most of our singing at the Cathedral, RPC is not/not an official Cathedral choir. 

That being said, it's possible he may be amenable to us, given this leaflet I found in a St. Teresa pew last Ash Wednesday. More will be revealed.
