Spring 2016

This has been a year of challenge for Marcy, as she undergoes chemotherapy treatment for her cancer.   During those times, Paul Wood and Carol Lesh are filling in for her at services.   As of April 24, Marcy has completed 3 weeks of her first round of therapy, and was able to join the choir for services this weekend.   After which, Marcy has 3 more weeks of therapy.   We are all praying for you Marcy, as you undergo this difficult journey, that the Lord will bless you and give you a full recovery!

As usual, the season of Lent and the Triduum services were without parallel, and the community was blessed again!

I will try to update this blog more often.

Cantors, please let Marcy know your availability for the summer months!

Summer 2013

Hello, St. Thomas Music Ministry!  Our 25th choir year under Marcy has come to an end, and we are looking forward to a great and relaxing summer.  While some of the choir is involved in the 3rd annual STV major play, "Children of Eden", which takes place from Thursday through Sunday, July 18-21, 2013, most of the choir will enjoy a summer from choir obligations.  We will continue to have once a month choir appearances, both at the 5pm and 9:30am services.

For those of you in the cantor assignments, Marcy will be canvassing you regarding your availability this summer!

Enjoy your summertime and we will see you all throughout the summer and in the fall for Marcy's 26th year!
