The Christmas Eve Jazz mass was a "first of its kind" for our parish. And was it ever a blessing!Vicki McDermitt, Russ Schmidt, Rob Moore and Dwight Kilian are all masterful musicians and gifted jazz artists, and when coupled with the meditation of Richard Parrish (with Russ, Dwight and Rob responding musically to his words throughout the meditation) it was truly a holy and thought-provoking experience for us all.
The church was packed, the congregation unanimous in its appreciation for the liturgy and music, God was glorified by prayer, word, liturgy and music, and the most Holy Sacrament received by the Faithful.
And yes, we've already begun making plans to have the Jazz Mass as a part of our annual Christmas Eve liturgies!
