Organ Dedication Concert September 23, 2018

Organ Dedication Concert

In Praise and Thanksgiving to God 

Thank you to all those who attended our wonderful Organ Dedication Concert. It was a wonderful celebration of our new Rodgers Infinity 361 Organ. The organ was moved from its usual corner out to the front of the sanctuary, where the audience had a better view as Hank Wajda’s fingers and feet danced across the keyboards and pedals. The organ was truly the star of the show whether it was featured in the organ solos performed by Hank or as an accompaniment to the vocal performances. Group Vocal Performances conducted by the St. Frances Cabrini Adult Choir and the Men of Harmony as well as solo performances by Regina Leidy Foglia, Julianna Rifkin, and Marybeth Haberstick.

The concert was offered in praise and thanksgiving to God for blessing our parish with the beautiful gift of music, made manifest in our new organ and the many talents of our music ministry. Monsignor McCormac opened the concert with a prayer of praise and offered a prayer of thanksgiving before the final number.
