New Members Orientation Music Ministries of Holy Family Glendale, CA
Note from the director The music ministries at Holy Family are diverse as they are busy. With masses, confirmations, confessions, weddings, funerals, first holy communions, feast days and solemnities, concerts, ordinations, and community outreach, our musicians up the ante by becoming pastoral in their approach to the music they make. We come from a variety of backgrounds and our musics accomplish various acts and expressions in worship in the mass. Together , we worship one Christ. -Adan A. Fernandez, Director of Music/Organist
