Fr. Adam Verona celebrated Mass. Alex's Mom and Ted Wojcik lectored. Becky cantored. Don directed the choir, including present company. Chatted with Lisa about post-Easter plans before choir practice. Ken was the organist.
We sang:

Communion Hymn- Parce Domine (#469), with verses from Psalm 51, a translation of Misere Mei
Communion Meditation by the Choir- Jesus So Lowly (Harold Friedell)
Closing- Lenten Prayer (Palm Sunday)

I chatted with Jorge's family after Mass. We met up with Dr. Ric and Dr. Debbie's family (visiting from out of state), and spoke with Fr. Adam after Mass: Mom described the goings-on of Holy Week in the Philippines. I got a blessing from Fr. Adam after Mass, too.

Headed chez Mom and Dad's for lunch (Champ-O-Rado!); I had eaten before choral practice, too. Napped, and will head out with Debbie for comedy clubbing this evening.
