Oct. 23 – Cemetery of Innocents Nov. 18-20 – HS NCYC

HS RockLife Nights

Our next RockLife will be on Sun., Oct. 10 from 6-8 pm in the youth room at Sts. Peter & Paul. (when our county is Red or Orange we’ll have to gather in the gym, wear masks and socially distance). This will continue throughout the school year (usually twice a month). These nights focus on leading teens closer to Christ while meeting them where they’re at. It helps youth get excited about their faith and more engaged! Not only will you find food for the soul, you’ll also be served Sandy’s Pizza!! Bring a friend, mask and a waiver!

Drew Wilson—Call to Join the Adult Choir

Come Sing with Us!

"Sing out, heavens, and rejoice, earth, break forth into song, you mountains, For the LORD comforts his people

and shows mercy to his afflicted." (Isaiah 49:13 NABRE)

Adult choir practices are resuming for our three linked parishes! Though we perform separately at Holy Cross, St. James, and Sts. Peter and Paul, let’s learn together as one and deepen friendships across our linked parishes. Join us Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm at Holy Cross Church, beginning October 14.

We’ll learn to sing in parts (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass) for new and familiar hymns and songs; we’ll learn new music for prelude and meditation at Mass (ranging in style from Renaissance motets to masterpieces of the twenty-first century);

and we’ll develop our skills in choral blending, a capella singing, chant, and singing in English and Latin, as well as numerous broader performance skills that make music captivating.

If you love to sing and are willing to learn, come join us — I would love to work with you!

With prayers that we may all come to hear the Voice of Jesus in our everyday lives and summon the conviction to follow His Call,

Drew Wilson
