High Praise From The Pastor

Fr. Larry Morrison is the pastor of St. Rose of Lima and the gracious host of our choir for rehearsals. He does not hand out accolades left and right. Yet after our Good Friday service, he told Kathy:

"In my 35 years as a priest, that was the most memorable Good Friday service I've been part of, and it was because of Regina Pacis Cantorum."

Just doing our ministry, Fr. Larry, but thanks! Also, a family stopped Sandy and me on the parking lot to say how they thought our music really enhanced the Good Friday experience.

Resurrexit sicut dixit

A happy and blessed Easter to one and all in RPC.

And thanks for dealing with the close quarters in the Cathedral's choir loft today.

Take The Week Off

There will be no rehearsal on Tuesday, April 22. Enjoy the night off!

More Prayers Please

First, for bass JP DeChambeau. In his own words from Facebook today:

Going to St. Mary's for my heart again. My heart starting skipping beats badly at work and I almost passed out twice. 

[Later] At least my heart has calmed down... Now it's hurry up and wait [That's when he took the above picture]

[Later] FINALLY saw a doctor after an almost four hour wait. They will do blood work and give me a prescription for more heart meds. Hopefully I can rest tmrw [Saturday]

[A friend asks] Atrial fib?
[JP replies] I have had super ventricular tachycardia for years. This episode was a bit... Different.

[Later still] So everything checks out for now. They gave me a slightly different medicine and are sending me on my way tonight. What a fantastic experience..... Not

Speaking of basses under the weather, Kathy tells me one reason we haven't seen much of Andon Major Dansie is that he has been quite sick, so he can also be added to the (way too long) RPC prayer list.
