I'm sure some of you who go regularly to the 10:00 a.m. Mass are wondering what has come of the music survey that was done recently about the Choir at that Mass.  I can tell you, of the people who responded (around 150), a large number want us to continue having a choir at that Mass, which I am happy to see.  The challenges that come from a relatively small number of people currently in our choir, and the need for more members, remains before us.  One matter has been decided in that I have named Lynne Border as the new 10:00 a.m. Choir Director even as she continues as our organist.  She has done this for many years in her previous parish, and is currently the director and accompanist for our Resurrection Choir which is going well for our Funeral Masses.  I know Lynne is open to ideas on how to get more people in the choir and she has ideas herself.  I pray the parish will be open to her leadership in the important area of music ministry for our parish.  May we all continue to offer praise to the Lord in words, songs and by our loving actions every day.
