Welcome to St John’s Music Ministry’s update!

My last update spoke about St John’s audio system upgrade which was still in the midst of being installed. I can happily report (as you may have noticed) that the upgrade has been successfully completed. Besides upgrading the congregation-facing PA speakers and amplification, we’ve now added choir monitors which allow the choir and musicians to better hear each other and to now clearly hear the priest’s lapel and Lectern mics. It’s a bit more complicated but well featured and overall will serve St John’s parish well.
 
In the meantime, our choir has just returned from its summer break and will be continuing to rehearse on Thursday evenings (7:15) and play at the 11:15 Sunday morning masses. We are still in Ordinary Time and will be singing the “Mass of Glory” (Candeo/Hurd) Service music. Thanks again for all your kind words welcoming us back this season. We are here for you and appreciate any and all comments/critiques that will help us to provide a better musical support to St John’s liturgies.
 
Please note that while Becki Shultis now leads the music at St Augustine’s Chapel, we still need music at the Saturday 5:00 PM Mass.  Please consider singing and/or playing with our Music Ministry to either augment our existing groups or possibly fill out the music at the Saturday 5:00 PM Mass. We all love what we do and take pride in creating a musical atmosphere that supports our Liturgy and hopefully encourages the congregation to sing God’s praises.
Call or email Dave Christi (845-430-8040, dmichaelchristi@gmail.com) with any questions/comments.
 
Yours in music,
