It is said that music is the prayer of the soul. It is an important part of our Sunday Masses. If you sing or play an instrument please consider playing at Mass, especially during the summer when groups are on holidays. Even if you could play only once a month it would be a great help. Music is a great gift so why not share it with others and enhance our Sunday Celebration of the Eucharist. Contact Fr. Larry.
