"Furaha Kwa Ulimwengu" and "Joy to the World" for our Choir

The Blog is back!-- here to help some choir members for this weekend's Christmas concert.
Here are the lyrics for our version of "Furaha Kwa Ulimwengu" (youtube link: http://youtu.be/hHIczyYobWU in case this is hard to hear or see)...

AND here is "Joy to the World"

Choir Family Mass Dates

The remaining Family Masses are on the following dates:
March 16th, April 20th, May 18th, and June 1st--- though because we are adding days at the end of the year to make up for snow days, it's possible that last date could change.

You'll notice that April 20th is Easter.  That is correct.  This year, the St. Sylvester School Choir members will be lending their voices to celebrate Easter at St. Sylvester Church!  I understand that some families will be out of town, but for those able to make it, it will be an extra special experience with extra instruments (professional players) added just for the occasion.
