New Cantors!

Yehey!! We got volunteers for the music-making! The children seem to be more relaxed now, and not afraid to "make mistakes". So many hands went up when the presider, Ruth Mae (not in the photo) asked them who wanted to help the cantors. After the Mass, we were told by some parents that our music could be heard in the church, but it did not distract them from the homily. Instead, it "reassured" them that their children were doing fine at the back, hearing God's Word at their own level.

Here they're shown playing their instruments and singing the Responsorial Psalm, "Jesus is with us today, beside us to guide us today!...." Behind them are Maria, Chin-Chin, Leonard and the reader, Marianne.


To allow more children to participate, we tried to get a different set to help sing the Alleluia, but were only 50% successful; these two boys were just too eager and quick. We hope to get to know all (!) the children on August 14, at the get-together. Maybe then we'll be able to add names to their photos.
