| THE KC MEN'S CHOIR has been very well received. So well that we are going to have the opportunity to lead the music at Mass three or four times a year! We will keep the music simple and the time commitment low. We have produced a substantial, prayerful sound, and that is all we are looking for. Our next Mass is Saturday May 16th at 8pm. Please look for an email from Paul Wiesler with more details. | ||||||||
