Dear Music Ministry Members,
The line-up and schedule for May are attached.
We are coming to the end of the school year and there is a lot going on in the month of May.
On Saturday May 4th, the 6pm Mass will be sponsored by the Youth Band. Thanks to Hannah Kraebel for selecting the music and leading this group, and thanks to Jennie Li for accompanying. If you know of any youth guitarist or pianist who might be interested, please invite them to join the group. There will be one more Youth Mass on June 1st, after which there is a break for the summer, and the group will resume again at the start of the next school year.
The 8:45 Mass on May 5th will be broadcast on RTHK Radio 4. The Filipino choir will be singing, and this time there will also be violin and trumpet accompaniment. Thanks to our youth instrumentalists Amar Bhardwaj and Aisling Quinlan for joining.
May 12th is Mothers' Day, and we should prepare a song or instrumental piece for when the roses are distributed. A good one might be 'Hail Mary, Gentle Woman', p. 779, but each group can have their own choosing.
The Rite of Confirmation will be held on Saturday, May 18th at the 6pm Mass. Reverend Brian Barrons will be the celebrant. We need singers for the choir! Please join if at all possible, and please ask your friends from the parish to join also. Rehearsal will be 4:30pm.
There are two ceremonies for First Holy Communion; both will be held on Saturday, May 25th. One is at 11:30am and one is at 3pm. Again we need singers! Please join the choir and ask your friends too. Rehearsal will be at 10:15am. We will break for lunch after the first ceremony and return again for the 3pm ceremony.
The May Crowning will be on Sunday May 26th at the 11:15 Mass. Can the Filipino choir select a song in praise of Mary for the crowning?
The schedule for the 11:15 cantors will be May 5th –Stella, May 12th – Jam, and May 19th –Lorna. Please let me know if the schedule is ok for you.
Peace,
Peggie
