9am CHOIR (Looking for boys or men)

If you enjoy singing and have pretty good musical ability, the 9 am choir is looking for boys or men who can sing with a group in the tenor range, that is in the key of C3 to B4  or mid-range of Bruno Mars, Billy Joel or Ed Sheeran.  They are also looking for practice pianists with at least a grade 5 or 6 practical conservatory skill level.  If this is you, please see Karen or Joy after mass.  We would love for you to join the 9 am mass.

CAR BLESSINGS:

To all of you blessed with acquiring new (or new to you!) vehicles. I am happy for you and happy to bless your vehicles. To make it simpler and easier for yourselves, our office staff and myself; please don’t bother calling the office for an appointment. Car blessings take all of one minute. Simply approach myself , Father Jonathan, Deacon Leonard or Deacon Joe after any mass you attend (weekend or weekday) and we are happy to grab the holy water then and there and bless your vehicles right away. That way, you don’t have to use your time or our time booking appointments and you get the blessing you are looking for when you and your vehicle are right at church! Thanks very much! God Bless! Fr. Larry and the staff.
