Greetings from Staff Parish Relations Committee
|
We are pleased to confirm that Mariana Mevans Vidal has been named our Director of Music and Organist. She was our interim Music Director and will now retain that position as well as rehearsing and performing on our magnificent organ. We have a search committee working toward hiring a Choir Director whose position entails rehearsing the choir and leading the choir for services. Look for more details about this process in January.
