Message from the DirectorMessage from the Director

Greetings!

Happy Lent to all of you! The liturgy has changed, the music is inLatin, we say the Penitential Rite, and we refrain from singing theGloria and saying "Hallelujah." All for what? To understand that Lent isa time of fasting, preparation, penance, and transformation. Each ofyou plays a part in the liturgy and EVERYONE'S voice, instrument, androle is vital to making Lent a meaningful experience.

The music at Holy Family continues to grow and thrive with every

performance, rehearsal, and outreach of community. We must alwaysremember that despite our various perspectives on Catholicism, ourethnicities, life-partners, and incomes, we are all part of the body ofChrist. Every ensemble contains a varied group of individuals who,despite their differences, come together for growth in the ministry ofmusic performance and leading. Remember that you are loved hereby your community.

I want to especially highlight a grand performance by our adult choirsalong with the Philippine Chamber Singers of Los Angeles in amassive performance of Handel's Messiah at the Alex Theater onMarch 10th. Thank you to all of the section leaders, singers,organizers, Maestro Keimach, and the Glendale Youth Orchestra fornot only drawing out the best musicianship in all of us, but for alsodrawing us closer to God through the rare marriage of profoundtheology and music.

We look forward to our final performance of the church season onApril 6th at 7:30pm. It will be featuring the Requiem for the Living byDan Forrest in a fabulous partnership with Dr. Peter Green ofGlendale City College and Church of the Good Shepherd. Please inviteALL of your friends, family, neighbors, dentists, mechanics, andenemies to this event. We want to fill up the church like it is EasterSunday!
