Gracias, Padre Jaime

Cantico de la Mujer Latina had another great rehearsal last night.
I’m pleased to say that we welcomed yet another new member!
This puts our membership from the following parishes:
- Ste. Anne; Detroit, MI
- St. Elizabeth; Wyandotte, MI
- Our Lady of the Woods; Woodhaven. MI
- St. Francis Xavier; Ecorse, MI
- St. Alfred, Taylor; MI

But. . . as of yesterday,
it would seem we need to add more parish to the list:
-St. Gabriel, Detroit.

Well. . .OK. . .
. . . we don’t have any women in the group
from St. Gabriel. .. . yet.
But I’m certain that will come in time.
In any event,
we truly need to add St. Gabriel
to the list of parishes that support us.

You see,
Cantico was looking for a rehearsal venue in the city.
And so I asked Padre Jaime,
Pastor of St. Gabriel,
if it would be possible for Cantico de la Mujer Latina
to have a little bit of space.
Padre Jaime was kind and gracious
and welcomed us to St. Gabriel!

In fact, he joined us
for a part of our rehearsal last night with his Ukelele.
He prayed with us and blessed us.

Cantico de la Mujer Latina
has two events scheduled for September.
More on that when details become available.
One of those events will be held at St. Gabriel Parish in Detroit.

For now, we just want to say Gracias, Padre Jaime.
Thank you for welcoming us to St. Gabriel.
But even more, thank you for your commitment
to making music a primary tool of Evangelization.

.. ..so...when are we going to write a Cumbia mass setting,
complete with sung presider’s part???... :)
