Sound Monitors
With the new sound system completed, I’m looking for several people who can serve as Sound
Monitors for the 5 weekend masses. These people monitor and adjust the volume levels on
each channel to maintain the optimum sound levels for spoken voice and music voice and instruments. The person should have a basic command of digital technology, and a ‘good ear’
to maintain a great sound environment and keep music groups balanced. Ideally, would like
teams of 3 per mass that could rotate, and cover for each other on an ‘as needed’ basis. Call
Denise Brooks at the office for more information.
NEW! A permanent
St. Francis Children’s Choir forming now! We are excited and fortunate to have Mrs. Arlene
Anderson-Jones, president of our school, Holy Trinity, and a music educator, lead our new
Children’s Choir! This choir will meet weekly throughout the school year, and sing occasional Sunday masses, special celebrations, and the Christmas Concert. The choir is open
to grades 3 through 6. Rehearsals will be weekly on Mondays, from 4:15-5:15pm. For more
information, contact Denise Brooks [email protected], or Mrs. Anderson-Jones [email protected]

Family Rosary—The month of October has been dedicated as the month of The Holy Rosary since 1571. The
Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is October 7th. During this month of October, when we honor Mary and turn to
her in a special way for guidance and protection, let us especially remember the power of the Rosary. Honor
her by joining us before Mass on the Blessed Mother’s side of the Church for the Family Rosary. We will ask
Mary for her special intercession and protection for St. Francis Marriages and Families during her month.
