Thanks to all the musicians and singers who helped to make the Triduum and Easter at Church of Saint Michael a blessed and beautiful time of worship. If you see someone who sings or plays, please thank them and let them know you appreciate them. They put in countless hours of rehearsal time both at home and here at the parish.
