Next Saturday, February 18th

Doors Open at 7PM Performance starts at 7:30PM

 

Performance by Unheard Sounds

 

Featuring musicians: Joel Alarcon Sr./Violin, Fabio Dantas Costa, Viola/Guitar, Cesar Colmenares/Cello

 

Unheard Sounds is a mixture of all genres of music from Classical to pop played with a combination of violin, viola, and cello. Each musician brings their own cultural flavor to the performance. Imagine hearing music like ‘what a wonderful world’ played with the colors of the cello, or hearing ‘Smooth Criminal’ by Michael Jackson played on the sharp sound of the violin. Not only will you enjoy hearing your favorite music played in a unique way, you will also experience the sounds that come from mixing the violin, viola/guitar, and cello.

*All Coffee House proceeds beyond costs are donated to Meeting Ground, an organization serving the homeless in Cecil County, MD.

On Thursday, we launched our St. Mary Anne’s History Group. Participants included Nancy Ball, Bishop Bud Shand, Fr. Sam Hartman, Barbara England, Dru Torregrossa, Janice Flood, Diane Cattrell, and Father John.

The group’s focus is to begin to compile a comprehensive history of St. Mary Anne’s Church; to care for and organize our records dating back to the 1700’s; to offer genealogy research when requested; and to organize and digitize our archive of photographs. We’ll also be interviewing people for an oral and visual history of our historic church.

We need more help! We look for other people who wish to be a part of this large endeavor. There are no planned group meetings, so you can work on your on schedule. If you have a love of history and of St. Mary Anne’s and want to help, please contact Fr. John.
