This is a courtesy notice that all available spots in the girls choirs, both for younger (age 6-10) and older (age 11-18), are now filled for the upcoming 2017-18 choir year.

If there are any last interested families, they can contact me to be placed on a waiting list. Girls from the waiting list could join on until the end of September, if any spots become available.

God Bless all the parish families and their children, and pray that our music program aids them in deepening their relationship with Christ, and deepen their love and understanding of the Holy Mass.

New Choir CD! Seeking Benefactor(s)

by

The Choirs of Mater Dei Parish are in the process of producing a new choir CD this summer, and it will include singers from the St. Cecilia girls choir!
It will be an album of devotional Marian music heard often at our parish, and is in a way, the choir’s supplication to Our Lady to help us build our new church.

We have more expenses for recording and mastering production of this CD than we have for past ones, so I am asking if there are any parishioners who could be a benefactor to help cover this extra cost.

You could choose to remain anonymous, or, we could make sure to mention you in the album details as a benefactor of this new album.

If you are interested, or know someone else who might be, please feel free to email me or call me to ask for more details.

Please pray for our efforts as well!
