This is a different sort of year-end post for us because between now and September when we resume, we do not know exactly what will happen. The Friars are leaving the Cathedral, so our relationship with that parish remains to be seen. At least we do know our rehearsals will continue in our current location. As I was often told in the Defense Department, "Stand by to stand by."
This was a good season in which we had help from several new and returning members, while others suffered through various maladies, some temporary, some rather chronic. We did have the honor of singing at Fr. Joseph Walsh's First Mass as well as the Friars' last Mass for First Friday, a Solemn High Mass. We also sang on Christmas Eve instead of Christmas Day.
Thanks be to:
- Kathy, which goes without saying.
- All those who sang with us throughout the year, with special mention to those who often sang two and even three times a Sunday.
- The pastors who allowed us to sing for them.
- Our family members who had to do without us on Tuesday nights until now.
- Our Lady Queen of Peace and St. Cecelia for their intercession and inspiration.
- Our benefactors, known and anonymous.
So I leave you with this encouragement in these uncertain times:
Your webmaster, who occasionally remembers how many beats a half note gets,
Paul
