I sang for the last time with St Joseph's Choir this morning. I said goodbye to Tony, Joe, Paul, Cat etc. I left them some JMT hymns and sang 'The Pilgrim Alleluia ' and also left them a copy of that. They are going to sing it on St Patrick's Day. If you have been following the blog, you might remember that I was amazed, when I came first and was in the congregation, that they sang 'Bring Him Home' after the recessional hymn. Well today, they bid goodbye to me over the mike before the recessional hymn and after they sang 'Danny Boy' as people were leaving the church. I was touched.
There is a fantastic energy in the choir and they do some lovely versions of hymns we know well, in particular 'Sweet Sacrament Divine'. They also drink sherry and eat cookies at the practices! How could you not take to them? Even though I was away for a good few weekends, that was never a problem. Happy memories.
