Sunday July 28th - 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hello:

We will be singing at the 11:00 o'clock Mass this Sunday, July 28th.  Fran and Allen Muirhead are away the next two Sundays, and I volunteered to provide music this Sunday.  I believe Rosemary will be leading the music next Sunday.

If you are interested, you're welcome to join Grace and me.  It's the summer, and the day after the musical for many of you, so there's no reason to feel obliged to come out to the practise or sing with us.  We will be practising before the 11:00 Mass, as usual, starting about 9:45 a.m.on July 28th.
