Introducon
On November 18th the Music Commission of the Dio-
cese of Brooklyn will offer an opportunity for pastoral
musicians to enhance their skills. The workshop which
will focus on Youth Choirs will be held at Resurrec2on-
Ascension Church, Rego Park and has been planned to
help us all grow in our love and understanding of the
liturgy, in our musical knowledge and skills, and in
more effec2ve and faithful ministry to the church at
prayer. Our gathering together serves as one way to
share ideas so that we can be8er assist our parish com-
muni2es and develop our musical talents for our parish
worship.
