Family Choir Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be a part of the choir, but you wanted to try it without the commitment? Now is your chance to try it out and get a feel of what it’s like to support our congregation each week in celebrating the Mass. For the months of July and August, we will have a Family choir for the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays. “Family” means the whole family (rising Third Graders and up) is welcome to come sing with us. All that’s required is a desire to add to the Mass experience. (A reasonable ability to sing is helpful.) What you need to do: For the Sundays running through August 25th, arrive at church, in the choir area at 11:00 a.m. We’ll run through the music for that morning’s Mass and then we’ll be ready to go! Just be prepared to sing your praise to God – it’s that simple! Don’t worry, no robes involved. If you have any
questions, feel free to contact Merrilee Jaskulski at mjaskulski@ stjoesylvania.org
