Apologies to 4:30 mass-goers as our folk group was unable to lead the music in May.  We will be taking a summer break now, but hope to appear twice-monthly at the 4:30 mass beginning in September.
Thanks to our SJB musicians comprising our vocal schola and brass ensemble at this weekend's 9:30 and 11:30 liturgies.
