roles throughout our lives.

Music Notes
Thank you all so much for doing
such a wonderful job singing every
weekend. As many of you know,
singing hymns is not always that
easy. Many of our hymns have fairly
complex repeat signs, first endings, second endings,
codas, etc. The process of navigating your way
through a hymn can get challenging at times.
One tip I can give you, is to take advantage of our
new hymn board. If you are able to arrive at church
a few minutes prior to Mass, allow yourself the op-
portunity to look over the hymns that are posted on
the board. Become familiar with the structure of
each hymn. Know where your repeat signs are, first
endings and second endings. Even sing them quiet-
ly in your mind. This can also serve as an effective
form of prayer in preparation for Mass.
I also encourage you to approach me any time prior
to or after any of the Masses. I am delighted to an-
swer any of your music reading questions.
The one thing that all liturgical music has in com-
mon is that all of the hymns are rooted either in the
love we have for Christ or the love he has for us.
Reason enough for us to try and sound our very
best. We have such a great singing congregation.
Let us continue to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us
in our joyful singing each weekend.
Andrew Cardona, Director of Music Ministry
I would like to express my deepest
gratitude to our very own Women’s
Auxiliary for their time and hard
work in preparing for, and execut-
ing a very successful Flapjack
Fundraiser and Tricky Tray. This
group has been a mainstay at
OLMC for more than 65 years and continues to
work tirelessly for our parish. Please keep them in
your prayers, so they can continue their good works
for our parish community.
Love,
Fr. Dennis
