Action-Packed Four-Day Weekend

The first list, that for the "Feria V of the First Week of Advent" is actually at SS. John and James in the Arctic section of town.  This Mass was announced in this past Sunday's Sacred Heart bulletin.  It will be celebrated by Fr. Derek Puleo, who has celebrated Mass at Sacred Heart on several occasions.  The organist for that Mass is yours truly.

The other two lists are for Masses celebrated here at Sacred Heart.

Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe

This weekend, we have our brass trio for three of our Masses, as well as a substitute soprano.

Our substitute soprano is Eden Casteel.  Eden is very accomplished in voice and piano, not only in performance, but in teaching as well.  Each summer, she also writes a children's musical called Quonnie.  And yes, she is also well-versed in sacred music.  She even substituted for me at the organ bench one weekend in the summer of 2014.
