The Recovering Choir Director

I would like to extend a very sincere thank-you to all who have donated their money and their prayers towards my attending Juventutem and World Youth Day 2005. By no means is the quest over, however. I have one final hurdle to clear between the hours of 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM before the “all-clear” is given. Please pray for my intentions during that time.

If all goes well, I will be departing at 8:00 PM today; in any case, I will be back on the 23rd.

During this time, all comment boxes will remain open (and hopefully most spam-bots will be thwarted by the blacklist).

For those who are interested, here are some relevant materials:
- Pastoral/liturgical itinerary for Juventutem
- Choral repertoire for Juventutem (Pilgrims’ Choir and Consort)
- Handbook for WYD 2005

I will keep all of you in my prayers, especially during our liturgies. If there are any particular intentions, feel free to e-mail them to me. WYD 2002 facilities had broadband Internet access—I believe there will be similar facilities in Cologne (but probably not Bavaria).

Again, thank you all…especially for your prayers.
