VISITING CHOIR - We are pleased to host a visiting men’s choir who will offer a sung prelude on Saturday, August 20th just prior to the 4:30 Mass. The choir, under direction of Pastor Dodd Lamberton, is made up of members from several local professional and church choirs.

The piece they’ll be singing is Ave Maria, written by German composer Franz Biebl (1906-2001). This lush, opulent piece of choral literature, written in 1964, includes portions of the Angelus and Ave Maria. I hope you’re able to hear this prelude, letting the sounds of this glorious music wash over you.  Our beautiful sanctuary is perfect for music---come on the 20th and you’ll see what I mean!
