3rd Sunday of Lent
“Cleanse me; Heal me; Create in me the heart that you want”
I've started selecting music for April, including Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I'm not anticipating any major changes from last year, except preludes. Stay tuned.
The Marriage Convalidation that was planned for last week has been tentatively rescheduled for 03/21 (the family was sick). Will confirm/pass along details as I receive them, but it would be great to be at full staff that week.
UPDATE: 03/12: The Convalidation has been rescheduled for this Sunday, 03/15, at the 9 AM Mass, so no need to worry about this for 03/21.
Don't forget to review the parts on If Today (chorus), Merciful God (harmony/echo) and River of Glory (harmony).
Due to the flu season and Coronavirus outbreak, it looks like we've decided to refrain from handshakes during the Sign of Peace; Father also announced that parishes have been 'strongly encouraged' to not offer the Precious Blood. In our case, we're down to one cup until further notice. As always, please use your own judgement and stay well!
UPDATE: 3/14: Please see separate email regarding Coronavirus precautions.
Finally, a reminder that we have Lent/Easter practice after Mass. Let's try to focus on How Beautiful and There Was No One There; we'll save the rest (Shout to the Lord, I Will Rise and Calvary) for next time.
UPDATE: 03/13: Maggie is out this week.
