About this concert:
Every year, the Church's Solemnity of Christ the King falls — very fittingly — within days of our nation celebrating Thanksgiving. Both are God-centered celebrations that call us to reflect on Christ's sovereignty over every heart and nation, and on our gratitude for the love and blessings he bestows.
Our 1st Annual Christ the King Fall Concert, showcasing our entire sacred Mass choirs and orchestra, will feature hymns and sacred songs of praise with the purpose of honoring both of these beautiful celebrations, giving thanks to God for our greatest blessing: our king, Jesus Christ. It's a perfect opportunity for us to come together with grateful hearts to praise the Lord, while doing our part to preserve the rich tradition of beautiful, reverent, sacred music alive in our parish for many years to come.
We pray that this event will become a lasting tradition for our parish, bringing individuals and families from our community and around the diocese together to give thanks to the King of the Universe, helping us express our joy and gratitude, while preparing our hearts for the Advent season.
Our Sacred Music Ministry is excited to introduce a new Mass setting to our parish this Fall! In this special video made just for our amazing parishioners, music director Robert Martinez and cantor Miranda Thornton demonstrate the new musical arrangements for every sung prayer and acclamation in the Mass of the Angels and Saints so our whole congregation can sing confidently and with ease when we roll them out this October!
