Thanks to the singers who came for the Confirmation and First Holy Communion services in May, and congratulations to the youth of the parish on receiving these sacraments. 

As this is almost the end of the school year, I'd like to take this chance to thank all of the people who volunteered their service and talents to the music ministry this year. In particular, thanks to the following musicians:

• ​To Jam General for helping choose the music line-ups.
• To Hunmin Kim, Agnes Lee, and Oliver Wong for their keyboard accompaniment.
• To cantors/soloists Lea Faigmani, Jam General, Pat Kozyra, Jocelyn La-ab, Oliver Wong, Teresa Peabody, Jano Donato, and Fernanda da Rosa. 
• To May Clarito, Christina Flores and Jano Donato for guitar accompaniment.
• Thanks to all the friends of the music ministry who help out on special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, and the May ceremonies.
• And, last but not least, to all the regular members of the music ministry, especially the Legion of Mary and the Filipino choirs, who come to sing every week. 

You are the backbone of the music ministry and it is a joy to make music with you. 

Thank you all so much!

Peggie

Many thanks to the musicians who are providing music for this Saturday's Confirmation ceremony. 

We are still RECRUITING SINGERS for the First Holy Communion ceremony on May 20th at 10:30am. Most of our regular music ministry members are not free to come on Saturdays, so we need singers from the parish community. Let's come together to sing at these joyous occasions for the youth of our parish.

Dear music ministry members,

The schedule and line-up for April are attached.

Easter is coming soon. The schedule of rehearsals and masses is below. Please let me know which services you can attend.

• April 13th Holy Thursday bi-lingual mass with the Chinese Choir, at 8pm. There will be two rehearsals: the first will be on Sunday April 9th at 12:15 in the music room, and the second will be on Holy Thursday April 13th at 7pm in the church. Ingrid Tsui will be the accompanist and Bosco Chan will be the director. This year we have made some changes to the music and have reprinted the choir booklets. The English mass parts will be changed to the Mass of Christ the Savior (the set that we are currently singing) instead of the Mass of Creation.

• April 14th Good Friday service, at 5pm. Rehearsal will be at 3:45pm in the music room. Hunmin Kim will be the accompanist and Jano Donato will sing the responsorial psalm.

• April 15th Easter Vigil at 7pm. Rehearsal will be at 5:45pm in the church. I will be the accompanist. Pat Kozyra will sing the exsultet, and Pat, Jocelyn La-ab, and Fernanda da Rosa will sing the responsorial psalms.

• April 16th Easter Sunday, rehearsals and mass are as usual for Sundays.

REMEMBER TO BRING FLASHLIGHTS FOR HOLY THURSDAY AND THE EASTER VIGIL!

Dear Music Ministry members,

The schedule and line-up for August are attached.Thanks to Jam General for the hymn selections.

Because some people are away on vacation during August, we have to cut back on a few things. Saturday evening mass in August will be a quiet mass with no music, and the responsorial psalms on Sundays will be read rather than sung. We plan to go back to our usual practice in September with music on Saturday evenings and cantors for the responsorial psalms at all masses.

With the start of the new school year, new parishioners may start coming to St. Anne's. Please welcome them to our parish community and also encourage them to join us in the music ministry.

Peace,

Peggie
