We want our songs of praise, glory, and gratitude to inspire you just as much as they inspire us. We enjoy a special closeness to our Lord through the songs we sing, and hope that the wondrous emotions we feel touch your hearts and souls, as well. We are so blessed to have Marie-Jo Thum, not only as our music minister, but as an outstanding source of spiritual inspiration, too! (If you hear a song that you find particularly touching at Mass, chances are Marie-Jo might have written it.) What you see and hear of the choir at Mass is only a small part of who we are – come and sing with us on Thursday nights at 7:30 to get the full effect! ~ The Adult Choir
