This used to be the page for St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, CA. I tried to hand this on to the new administration, but they elected to start a new page. So I was stuck with it. What they want to do is to erase the past and any memory of me. But I will always move forward. Now I am directing the Men's chant Schola at the Cathedral of St. Eugene, and this will be transformed into their page.
