With a Song in Our Hearts

As we say “good-bye” to our school this month, I would like to take an opportunity to thank those students and parents who generously gave their time to make our Choristers and Teen Ministry Choir a success.

We’ve all heard the saying, “When you sing, you pray twice.” If that’s the case, then I can only imagine heaven's delight at the sound that emanates from the choir loft during Mass.

Your ministry of song brings joy, spirit, prayer, and praise to our pews. The faithful are brought to a deeper sense of prayer through your joy-filled voices.

The Teen Ministry Choir sang for the final time this season last Sunday at the Noon Mass. The new season will begin in September. Any student in grades 8-12 are welcome to join.

The Choristers season comes to an end this week. When we resume in September, there will be some changes to our schedule. We will rehearse one Saturday per month at 2:30 PM and will sing on that same Saturday at the 4:00 PM Vigil Mass. Any student in grades 3-8 are welcome to join us,
regardless of the school you attend.

I am hopeful that this wonderful ministry of song will continue at St. Joseph Parish. I wish all the students the best of luck. My prayer for you is that you leave with a song in your hearts!
