There will be no music at the 7:30 masses at St. Agnes church on Sundays, at the request of the parishioners.
The Rev. Jarlath Quinn, pastor of Our Lady of Perpetual Help St Agnes Parish, announced Sunday that the practice of having music at each of the masses Saturdays and Sundays in both churches will be altered beginning this month.
Father noted the change was being made in response to a survey taken in both churches in the parish several months ago when parishioners indicated their desire to have one “quiet” mass , giving them to option to attend the mass of their choice.
People have different ways in praising God and in attending Sunday mass. At one time, there was only one mass that offered hymns and organ music, and over the years, the number has increased. But with the recent response to the surveys, Father Quinn agreed to modify the current schedule and offer one mass without music.
All are invited to attend either the w p.m. mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Hep or the 5 p.m. mass at St. Agnes every Saturdays, as well as the 9:30 mass at OLPH Sundays or the 10:45 or noon mass Sundays at St. Agnes if they want music. Those who prefer a quiet mass have the opportunity each Sunday to worship at the 7:30 mass at St. Agnes.
There are choirs in both churches, all under the leadership of music director Courtney Grogan, who is also the primary organist.
