In the Middle Ages, Gregorian chant was memorized and taught by masters who would travel in from far cities to pass along the traditions of singing the chant. Holy Family Parish has had such a Chant Master for the last 6 and a half years. He will leave our parish beginning Ash Wednesday this year (Our true Lenten sacrifice!), but the effects of his work will be here still giving glory and honor to God.
John S. has given of his time, energy, leadership, talent for organization, his strong supportive voice, depth of knowledge, and his ability to inspire love for the Sacred Liturgy and Gregorian Chant. He built a choir, a schola, a team, and a family. We have been truly blessed to know and work with him! As we continue what he has begun, we owe him our thanks, and offer up our prayers for all that he has done for us.
May God reward him!
