WE REMEMBER THEM

At the rising of the sun, and it’s going down,
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter,
We remember them.
When we lift our hearts to God in prayer,
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live,
for they are always part of us
As we remember them.

YOUR CHOIR NEEDS YOU!
Can you imagine Christmas Mass without Silent Night or Adeste Fideles? No? Do you enjoy hearing the Choir on a Sunday morning? Of course you do! But the choir can only continue if you help us! In Ardattin we rehearse for about 15 minutes before Mass on Sundays. Age is no barrier; all are welcome—and needed! The only requirement is that you would like to be part of a group who want to add to everyone’s enjoyment of attending Mass. Talk to any choir member and you’ll be most welcome! Come along, give it a try—we really want to keep the choir going—do you?
