It is said that "singing is praying twice" so those who direct church choirs must indeed often be prayerful, joyful people! This is a calling that requires great patience and love coupled with musical training and expertise. Imagine your community liturgy without the benefit of inspiring music and uplifting song. Show your appreciation for the director's presence, sharing of talent and enlivening the liturgy with a gift - perhaps a plaque or statue of St. Cecilia, patron saint of musicians.
