Event Details
Join us for this classically composed Mass of the Americas by Frank La Rocca. It will be presented by the Chancel Choir on Sunday, December 6 as the worship service with Diane Hires, director.
Imagine walking to church and along the way you are joined by family and neighbors in singing. The beginning of Mass of the Americas features a folk hymn from the Mission period when this was common, followed by movements from the typical mass, and dedications to the Virgin Mary.
The work features our Chancel Choir, brief solos, and a vocal ensemble accompanied by a guest chamber orchestra of strings, guitar, handbells, and organ. The guest organist will be Chris Garofalo, a local Steinway artist, who maintains a private teaching studio.
