Last weekend, on the solemnity of Christ the King, the Church celebrated the Jubilee of Choirs. I copy some words from Pope Leo:

"The choir is a small family of individuals united by their love of music and the service they offer. However, remember that the community is your larger family. You are not on stage, but rather a part of that community, endeavoring to help it grow in unity by inspiring and engaging its members. As in all families, tensions or minor misunderstandings can arise. These things are normal when working together and striving to achieve a goal. We can say to some extent that the choir symbolizes of the Church, which, striving toward its goal, walks through history praising God."

We will experience this tomorrow at the Carols on the Green. I'd like to take this opportunity to especially thank the Frank Romeo and the members of the Redfield schola cantorum. Their service helps all of us to pray at daily Mass at our school.
