God gave many of us the gift of music-making. Are you one of those fortunate people? And are you willing to share your gift in making our liturgies more meaningful and joyful? We are currently looking to expand the music program and need volunteers to help. Mark Adrian, our Director of Music, is seeking to implement some changes to Our Lady of Fatima’s liturgical music. Let’s see how we can include your talent in our liturgies. Call Mark Adrian at the church office: 505-265-5868.
