Music is a beautiful and integral part of the worship experience, and is one of the oldest, most transcendent, and deeply moving ways in which we commune together in prayer, divine adoration and spiritual self-reflection.  Holy Trinity is blessed to have a strong tradition of liturgical music of the highest quality, and, despite the difficulties of the global COVID-19 pandemic, we are committed to carrying on this high standard, as the true beneficiary of the music in mass is YOU, the parish community.  Our professional Schola Cantorum continues to provide cantors at weekend masses, as well as lead the music at the 11:15 mass each Sunday.  However, like many of the church's ministries and programs, we are not immune to the financial strains which have been laid bare by the pandemic.  As a means of shoring up reserves and conserving expenses, our musicians will work on a rotating roster week after week, rather than appearing  en masse every Sunday.  Our goal is not only to prevent hardship for the parish should we face another lockdown, but also to ensure that our world-class musicians continue to work during this very difficult time for artists.  Therefore, as we approach this year's  Annual Collection for Liturgical Music, we ask that you consider supporting this important program in any way you are able.  You can donate by leaving your donation in the special baskets at the front of the church, or by giving anytime online, making sure you specify "Liturgical Music" in the memo.  As always, your generosity is deeply appreciated.
