Concert in the Church On Sunday, June 23 at 3:00 PM, Archie Chen will bless

us with a piano concert in the church. Archie is a world-renowned pianist who has performed

throughout the United States, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe in such prestigious venues including Carnegie

Hall, Lincoln Center, the Vatican, the Gewandhaus, and concert halls throughout China. His performances have been featured on radio and television world-wide, and

in several movies. He has also performed with the Spokane Symphony, RTE Concert Orchestra,

Washington Symphony, Gonzaga Symphony, and the Northwest Chamber Orchestra.

Archie grew up right next to St. Thomas More Parish, and is in town for a while and would like to offer this concert in gratitude to our parish. This is a free event, though a free-will offering will be accepted which will

be used to enhance the landscaping in the area at which our parish grounds and Archie’s mom’s house adjoin.

Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity!
