It's time for new choir robes for St. John's Adult Choir! You have probably noticed that this fall we are not robed. Our familiar 20-year-old green robes were sold last summer when the opportunity arose. Now we are seeking to raise $6,000 to purchase crème-colored albs matching those of the other liturgical ministers (cantors, servers). We need 50 robes costing $180 each. Will you help by (partially) sponsoring a robe? Any size contribution would be gratefully accepted. Contact Cheri Sykes in the Music Office 651-633-8333, ext. 1231, or any choir member. Thanks!
IMMEDIATE RESPONSE Calling all piano students who like performing! On Saturday, December 6, at 6:00 p.m., festivities will abound at St. Nick's Night for all children in St. Paul's Plaza. I need students 4th grade and up who would be able to play a Christmas piece or two as background piano music during this festive evening. I will be holding auditions at St. John's on Tuesday, November 18, beginning at 5:00 p.m. in St. Cecilia (lower level). Come prepared with 1 or 2 pieces; advanced students try for pieces out of the ordinary. Students will be notified by phone on Friday, November 21, with audition results. Please contact Mary Anne Bennek at 651-633-8333, ext. 1220, or via e-mail at mabennek@comcast.net
