There are SO many ways that we can make a joyful noise to the Lord at SS. Faith Hope and Charity Parish. Whether through singing, playing or ringing, our music ministry provides parishioners a wonderful array of opportunities to offer their time, devotion and talent.

Yearlong commitment is not required although once you get involved you'll find there are few places you'd rather be! Experience mass from a new perspective - one of service, leadership and vibrant participation. Please consider becoming involved and serving God and your community through music.

May Christ the Center be for us the song that we sing!
And may we make many joyful noises to the Lord through our vibrant music ministry in the coming year!

Please call the Parish Office at 847-446-7646 for further information.

There are wonderful opportunities for parishioners to play an instrument during Mass. In the past year we have had many volunteers come forward. Some have played solos, others as a part of an instrumental ensemble, and still others accompanied a choir. And there is ALWAYS room for more!

FHC is fortunate to have several faithful parishioners who volunteer as cantors on a regular basis. If you are a singer who is interested in cantoring or if you play an instrument and would like to share your talent, please call the Parish Office at 847-446-7646 for further information.

We are looking for volunteers to start a Handbell Choir.

STS. FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY

Winnetka, Ill. Organ Used for Two Recitals by Herman Pedtke; Germani Will Play Opener

Fernando Germani will pause in his New York City Bach series to play the official dedicatory recital May 21 on the new Casavant organ in the Church of Sts. Faith, Hope and Charity, Winnetka, Ill.

Herman Pedtke, of the music faculty of DePaul U and organist of the church, co-operated with Edwin Northrup of Casavant on the design. Installation was in charge of John Shawhan, Casavant's Chicago area representative.

Mr. Pedtke has played the Dupré Stations of the Cross on Palm Sunday.
