All Saints - Mass with K-12 students/parish Choir: Grades 3 and 4 Schola...this was their first time singing for Mass (they sang beautifully!). We have a funeral later this week, and the family requested that the 3rd and 4th graders sing for the funeral because they heard them at Mass on All Saints Day. Made my day, because several people had questioned whether the younger students would be able to sing without middle schoolers with them ;) (I have been at this parish for 3 months)
