It is great to have our parish choir back from their summer break. It is always a joy to join our voices with theirs as we offer our praise and worship to our loving God. Music is such an important part of our Sunday worship. Often the quality of music that is provided at Mass will determine if people will come back again next Sunday.

I graduated from Quigley North High School Seminary a long time ago, way back in 1976. The seminary that was at the corner of Rush and Chestnut is long gone. The historic gothic building was converted into the Pastoral Center for the Archdiocese of Chicago. It now serves as the central offices for many of the departments and ministries for our local church.
