  • 12:15-12:30 - We take a quick run of hymns (harmonizing parts) with everyone.  I will have ordered packets of songs to share for folks who aren't Catholic or don't know the hymns.  (Bring your part reading skills, but the stuff we're doing together is very accessible and you probably know all the parts anyway.
  • 12:30 - Marilyn's body will be placed in the Narthex for viewing.  (this is the perfect time to use a restroom, pay your last respects etc)
