    How wonderful! As one who cannot sing let me tell you how much I appreciate people like yourself who are willing to be Cantor - you add such beauty to the liturgy.
    Easter Vigil Mass if my favorite mass of the year - A a convert to Catholicism the Easter Vigil holds a special place in heart, this Easter will mark my 17th year as a Catholic!!

    I am sure you will do a great job - I will keep you in my prayers -
