Our new St. John Neumann Youth Choir is now singing at the 6 p.m. Sunday Mass,
and another new choir - for the Children of our parish - has begun a series of
weekly rehearsals. These groups are open to all, and weekly rehearsals will
continue throughout the school year.
Youth Choir

rehearsals at 5 p.m. today (and every Sunday) in the Parish Council Room. Sixth-

the rehearsal at 5:30 p.m. We will be preparing music for presentation and
worship for the 6 p.m. Sunday Mass. Come and bring your friends!
