MUSIC REMINDERS

—Please welcome Cathedral Choir back to the Sunday 11:00am Mass after their Summer break. The will sing on Sundays and Holy Days until mid-June.

—Men’s and Ladies’ Scholae will begin rehearsal this coming Wednesday, September 11. This year, a new time (5:45—6:15pm) is being experimented with to be more accommodating for those wishing to join and needing to come from work. A final decision will be made in 2020 based on response to this

change...so please plan to sign up! The scholae are designed as entry-level groups to provide a signing experience for those who may not wish to audition for Cathedral Choir, or simply want to learn more about Gregorian chant. An audition is not necessary, but contacting the Director of Music is! More details at www.stpaulsbhm.org/sacred-music/mens-and-ladies-scholae.

—Please consider a commitment of time or treasure to our music apostolate. New sing-ers are always needed in our choral ensembles (please see the website descriptions for more details), as are donors for the Music Fund. We average slightly over $1000/year in donations for programming, whereas the necessary fees for choral groups in concert are well over $3000 per concert. Please help ensure the future of our music apostolate with your gifts—a sign of faith in God and His Church!
