SUNDAY MORNING ADULT CLASSES
THIS SUNDAY’S ADULT FORMATION CLASS meets at 9:45 a.m. in St. Albert Hall, Room #303. Jackson Schoos, our Music Director, will speak on “THE ROLE OF MUSIC IN THE LITURGY.

We will reflect briefly together on the “whys” and “hows” of making the Church’s vision of sung Liturgy real in our own communities.  CLICK HERE for more information about Adult Formation and the June Class Schedule.
