Sunday after our 10 am Mass I was able to sit down and chat with one of our cantors, Sal Atti. Sal came to the Cathedral in 2017 from Buffalo, NY. He was being successful in the music world when God took him in a different direction. It’s still music, only different.

We talked with Beatrice De La Torre and Sylvia Rincon. They are best friends and very funny. We laughed and cried. Their stories of faith are truly inspiring. They are part of the A.C.T.S. community. I didn’t know them before this, and I was blessed in our meeting.

We talked with Guadalupe and Selena Degadillo, a mother and daughter who serve at our Spanish Mass as cantor and piano player. I met Selena when she joined our English Choir a few months back, and I am meeting Guadalupe for the first time.
