Several members of the St. Patrick Girls Choir and the St. Patrick Morning Song Choir sang for the Saturday 5 pm mass at our partner parish, Our Lady of Victories, last Saturday. Fr. Chris presided assisted by Deacon Mark. The mass was followed by a wonderful meal together with our friends at Our Lady of Victories. Staff members Peggy Gentile and Maggie Hanson organized the event. Sister Margaret, Peggy Gentile, Barbara Nixon, Seminarian Andrew Dutko, Walt and Mary Voytus, along with several other parishioners attended the mass. Choir moms Antoinette Walsh, Kathy Shrekgast, and Anne Zucchi helped with the children's choir.
St. Patrick and OLV parishioners mingled and made new friends. The children in the choir had such a great time that some of them didn't want to leave! OLV parishioners shared many enthusiastic responses regarding the beauty of the children's music and the angelic sound of their voices. One parishioner talked at length with Maggie Hanson about how to start a children's choir. Fr. Rivera was very happy to spend time with Fr. Chris and Adnrew Dutko at dinner. Thank you to all who helped make the evening of partnership possible!
