Ordination of Reverend Karl Emerick, OP
Cathedral of St Stephen, Brisbane CBD
Friday 4 July 2017, 7 PM
Presider: Archbishop Mark Coleridge
What an honour to sing at the Cathedral for the brother of Matt Emerick (Editor, Catholic Leader). Matt befriended Nick (Music Director, St Mary's Catholic Church) several years ago at St Gregory's Traditional Latin Mass Community and has recently been attending the 5 PM Mass at St Mary's.
According to St Mary's veteran Denise Chao, the occasion was a very happy one for St Mary's, as it included former members from various periods in the community's history: Suellen Cusack (guest soloist); Genevieve Beverly (soprano), who plans to return soon; and Dorothy (alto), Alexander (bass) and Caroline Taylor (violin), who moved to Our Lady of Graces, Carina earlier this year.
The combined choir was privileged to sing with 3 Dominican brothers from Melbourne led by Br James Baxter. Next to the immaculately white-clad brothers, we were able to shine in our sky blue robes generously purchased by Mrs Yeh (Hung Yin) from Hemei Township (Changhua County, Taiwan). Thank you very much, Mrs Yeh!
