Either I have missed something in the news or you need to explain who Eric is.
Happy Father's Day to you et al!
Who is Eric?
Eric is the new Director of Music for St. Charles Borromeo parish. He comes to us with a wealth of experience. (He has been singing in choirs since he was 12.)
He has a beautiful voice, and is an expert in Gregorian Chant. His command of ecclesiastical liturgical history is exceptional.
He will be coaching the to-be-formed choirs, and me, as we tap into the rich musical history of the Roman Church.
A neighboring parish has donated an organ; and we are hoping it will be installed soon.
The SCB parishioners welcomed him with warm, heartfelt greetings yesterday afternoon and this morning.
Our God never abandons us. He sees our needs and showers us with His blessings. DEO GRATIAS!
Welcome Eric!
Eric Ramos?
Yes, Brian. Your friend Eric is with us.
I just love that picture you used!
Great - a chant master.
Out: "Gather us in"
In: "Introit" of the day
