At all Masses this weekend except for the 7:30, we will have on hand our brass trio (Ed Lapierre, Gerry Heroux, and Doug Wood), and an additional voice, tenor Christopher Cate (he debuted with us last Christmas) joining soprano Elaine Previte, alto Kate Warrener, and yours truly on bass.
Much of the music is a repeat of last year's Palm Sunday. Click here for that list, where you can find translations of the Latin pieces.
