Dear Family,
Last Sunday’s Masses seemed to be filled with life in a way that I haven’t experienced over the other four weekends of July. Perhaps it was the fact that many of our people were home for the weekend. Or perhaps it was that the Ensemble from the Sunday evening Mass (suspended for the summer) was playing at the 10:30am Mass. Or that the preacher (yours truly) had put together a homily that seemed to resonate with many of the folks.
Whatever it was – and music, preaching and people assembling are all important parts of experiencing the Lord present in the Eucharist – it all came together to make it a powerful weekend.
Speaking of life at Sunday Mass, I am very pleased to announce that we have a new Youth Music Minister for the Sunday Evening 5:00pm Mass. Her name is Jessie Lim and she is also the Pastoral Musician at St. Francis Xavier, in Hunt Valley. She comes with a wonderful background of church music, plays the piano and organ, and has worked with youth. She is also the music teacher in our parish Catholic School. Her goal is to incorporate all the great things that are already happening with Sunday evening music and bring them to the next level. Welcome Jessie.
Love,
Father Nick Amato
