Each week I search the best of the internet for sacred choral music that aligns with the Weekend's scripture readings and post several selections on our website at Choral Music Worth Hearing.
Some items for consideration:
LISTENING A year's worth of music selections is available at the above link, including two selections appropriate to this weekend's liturgical message.
CHOIR REHEARSALS ARE RESUMING! Reach out to your local music director about times, places and getting involved in music ministry.
HYMNALS ARE BACK! And hymn numbers will be posted on the new hymn boards. The Mass of St Frances Cabrini is our collective mass setting for the summer. It was new to us last Fall so it may be new to you if you're just returning. It is in the hymnal, #915-920.
NEW HIRE We are pleased to announce that Duncan McFarland has been hired as the new music minister at Saint Jude. Duncan recently relocated to this area of Maine after serving as music minister in another Maine parish. Welcome Duncan!
TRANSITION JoJo Kilroy, music minister at Holy Martyrs, will be serving her last Masses the weekend of July31/Aug1. She is relocating to California to be near her daughter. A reception will be held for her after her last Mass on Sunday, Aug 1. Join us in thanking JoJo for her years of ministry and wish her luck on her next adventure!
