Fr Brendan’s Farewell Tour began last weekend with the Liturgical Music Concert on Sunday afternoon at Our Lady of Victories Basilica.  The concert showcased the exceptional talents of many parishioners involved in our music ministry – cantors, choirs, organists, musicians, and ensembles.  The concert concluded with a delicious afternoon tea prepared by our hospitality team for everyone to enjoy.

A special highlight of the concert was Fr Brendan’s heartfelt performance of the hymn Take, Lord, Receive on his guitar.  We extend our enormous gratitude to our Music Director, John Weymouth for the incredible work he put into bringing this event to life.  To each of our performers, thank you for sharing your time, talent, and passion for music.  You created an inspiring and uplifting experience for everyone who attended.

Finally, we express our sincere thanks to Fr Brendan for his many years of leadership and guidance in shaping the liturgical music of our parish.  His contribution has been a true blessing.
