SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI CHOIR
Announcements
PRACTICE RECORDING FOR SANCTUS VIII IN ENGLISH
Starting sometime during the summer, we will sing the English version of the Sanctus from Mass VIII (Missa de Angelis). (The Sunday 5PM Mass is already singing this.) Sheet music to view and a sample rough recording are provided to the right. I will provide phrasing and breathing instructions during rehearsals.
CONFIRMATION MASS ON TUESDAY, MAY 19 AT 6:00 P.M.
Music list and responsorial psalm pdf files provided here. Because our diocese is without a bishop, the diocesan administrator has given Fr. Erin the faculty to administer the Sacrament of Confirmation to the teenagers who have been preparing for the sacrament. Warmup will be in the hall at 5:30 p.m. If you intend to sing at this Mass, please RSVP on the phone app.
CHANGES TO THE PUBLISHED REHEARSAL SCHEDULE
The schedule for Lent and Easter Season choir rehearsals had to have some changes made to it, necessitated by OCIA using both the church and the hall on what would otherwise be choir rehearsal nights:
Wednesday, April 22: Rehearsal in the church for Easter 5 & 6
Wednesday, April 29: NO REHEARSAL
Those changes supersede what is on the printed rehearsal schedule. The rest of the schedule is unchanged. As a consequence of the changes, there will be rehearsals on consecutive Wednesdays, April 15 and 22, and off-weeks on consecutive Wednesdays, April 29 and May 6. I have configured the phone app to send push notification reminders a few days before the affected dates.
