Comment

The Gentlemen sing Christmas Eve: please reply!

Happy Advent!

We have again been invited to sing as the Gentlemen's choir December 24 @ 8:00 PM at St. Bridget Church as we have done for several years now. This will be our annual black tie event where we lead the congregation in Christmas carols and sacred music. We're hopeful you will be able to join us again in this special celebration and witness to our faith.

Allen Bean has arranged for two December Saturday practice/rehearsal sessions for us. They will take place in the church hall (basement):

Saturday, December 10, 8:45 AM

Saturday, December 17, 8:45 AM

Each practice session will last approximately one hour. Each of us is asked to participate in at least one of the two practice sessions as we prepare to lead singing at Mass December 24 @ 8:00. Note: as the singing of carols on the 24th begins at 7:30 we are asked to arrive at the church hall that evening at 7:00 PM for our final warm up.

Would you please be so kind as to email wayneslough@verizon.net whether you will be joining us for our black tie event 8:00 PM December 24 liturgy (warm up @ 7:00)?

thank you gents!

Came across this website. I found it interesting. The blog has questions and answers on suggested approaches when in conversation with people who don't share our views on abortion and what may be effective in starting to change hearts.
