Christmas Day, December 25, 2023

Hello.

Our choir sings this Monday morning, Christmas Day, at 11:00 AM.  Since it's Christmas and most, if not all the music will be familiar, we'll gather at 9:45 AM to gather and get ready for practice at 10:00 AM.  I don't know whether there will be a Rosary or not before the Mass.  Therefore practice could end at 10:30 AM or possibly later.

The music selections are found below.
