Organ update

After being tuned for the first time in decades our Kilgen is ready to go.  A number of parishioners have never heard it played and will get a chance to hear it for the first time tomorrow.  After the 9:15 Mass tomorrow our organist will play a couple of short pieces to demonstrate what it is capable of.  At the 11:15 Anglican Use Mass we will get a chance to hear the organ during a Prelude and Postlude as well as the Mass.  Laetare Sunday comes at a great time to let us get a taste before we revert to Lenten simplicity for the next few weeks.  While not a concert instrument, our forebears got the best organ they could afford, and sixty years later it is ready to go back to work.  St. Therese is blessed with great acoustics, and our organ is able to use them to its advantage.  In addition to putting the organ back into full use, Laetare is an appropriate day to receive Professions of Faith and convalidate a Marriage.
