I am sorry for the loss of your father, Robert. He sang in the St. Bede Choir for a short time under my direction. I remember him as a gentle soul who was willing to participate in parish activities. He and I organized a "Chili Cook Off" where we had a lot of fun. I will pray for him and your family.
Sincerely,
Loretta Jelinek Lieske
former Director of Music
