All Rehearsals and Warmups before Mass from
August 1 through September 6 (Labor Day weekend) are suspended.
Everyone is welcome to come sing for Mass during these weeks, but we'll be in self-study mode until September 10.
The music plans for every Mass in August & September follow below, and there are links to videos for any song that is either new or new-ish. Please listen to them and learn or refresh your melodic memories as needed. If we're doing anything other than verses-in-order, I've noted that. I will have all "Handouts" available to you in the church for any given weekend.
Rehearsals will begin again on Thursday, September 10, at 11:00 in the church (and will last until 12:30). Cantors, along with varying groups (duos, trios, etc.) will meet prior to that rehearsal to maximize the benefit for all during our main rehearsals (personnel/times, TBD). Beginning on 10/3/26, we're going to have band rehearsals in the church on the first Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM to Noon (unless a funeral is scheduled). Other groups, including a children's choir, are in the works, and I'll let you know as those schedules develop so you can help promote them.
Please text or call me if you have questions about anything.
I appreciate each of you.
Jeff
