Pastors Commentary for CCMA folks:
We are currently working with insurance to replace a Rogers organ. We are looking at an equivalent Allen, which we are currently renting, but we are also investigating our options. Our parish is used to various musical styles, and we would like to move them gently towards a greater embrace of tradition without losing contact with the American Catholic repertoire and allowing space for a legitimate diversity of style. We have an incredible chant/polyphony group that sings once a month.
