Dear Youth and Families,

I wanted to let you know that I will be stepping down from the position of Youth Choir and Youth Bells Director. I spoke with the two groups on Sunday explaining that I wasn't able to efficiently balance and manage both my job at Bonham and the entire youth program here at St. Thomas.

I enjoyed the youth so very much and will miss interacting with them, but for the health of the program I do believe this is the best course of action. Mykel and Jim have so graciously agreed to continue both groups as scheduled, and I know they will be phenomenal with them. They will continue with the revised calendar that was sent out; however, if there are any changes they will communicated.

This is such a special parish with an amazing set of music programs. Thank you for your patience with me, and thank you to everyone who has been so kind and supportive during this year of transition. I'm honored to be here and to serve your children.

In the meantime, I will continue as the Children's Choir Director.

Thank you and God bless,

Lizzi Manfredi
