Blessing of the Choir Vestments

On Gaudete Sunday, Father Smith blessed The Junior Choir members’ vestments. The Junior Choir was joined by members of the Primary Choir as well as members of the St. Catherine Choir of Prince of Peace Catholic School to make a total of forty-five children to lead the music for the 10a Gaudete Mass. The choir’s vestments were given through generous donations for that purpose.
