The Diocese of Youngstown has an annual tradition of honoring those in music ministry at the Gold Mass. The celebration is held on a weekend near the Feast Day of St. Cecilia, patron of musicians (November 22nd). It begins with a concert featuring organ and choirs from across the diocese before Mass at the Cathedral of St Columba. A nice dinner will be provided afterwards. This event is not to be missed! Look for details in the Fall. Please let Ralph Holtzhauser know if you and your choirs would like to participate and/or attend.
