Choir signs 2nd contract
By Kathleen Watson
STC correspondent
CORPUS CHRISTI-The Cathedral
Youth Choir recently signed a second
national recording contract with the Gre-
gorian Institute of America (G.l. A. Inc.), a
major publishing firm based in Chicago, to
record another cassette on July 2.
According to Director Lee Gwozdz and
Associate Director Greg Labus, the youth
choir’s first recording, “Let the Children
Sing!”, has been selling extremely well.
Labus said, “The first tape was so well
received, the publisher asked us to do a
second recording—’’Let The Children Sing!
II.”
Both recordings are selections the choir
has chosen from the Catholic Student
Hymnal Collection. Their music is geared
toward the Catholic school liturgy and
CCD programs so that teachers may play
the tapes for their students. The choir’s
tapes, which arc sold nationally, are “ex-
amples of how children should sound,”
said Labus.
The Cathedral Youth Choir has been in
existence for six years now. “Some (chil-
dren) have been around since the very
beginning,” said Labus. The choir, made
up of 50 children ranging from grades 4
through 10, were chosen for the recordings
because of the unique tone they produce
when they sing.
The choir’s basic repertoire uses a com-
bination of the organ, piano and guitar.
The children’s hard work and dedication
toward the choir “give them a sense of ac-
complishment.” said Labus.
The choir has sung for many national
and regional conventions and workshops
throughoutthe United Slates via videotape
and audio recordings, including appear-
ances inChicago, New YorkCi:y, Toledo,
Phoenix, Detroit and Philadelphia. Ac-
cording to Gwozdz and Labus. “many
rank them one of the top Catholic chil-
dren’s choirs in the country.”
The youth choir had its most recent
performance at the June 24 “Festival
Concert ’90,” which concluded the 1989-
90 Cathedral Concert Series, which is under-
written by the John G. and Marie Stella
Kenedy Memorial Foundation.

My Dear Friends in Christ:
The concern of the Church for the National Evangelization program for Black
and American Indian people is more urgent than ever before. There is a greater
need today more than in any prior decade to continue support to the Black and
Indian missions. Remote reservation areas and poor southern communities ali over
the United S'ates have Black and Native American people who are often neglected
and have not had the spiritual and social opportunities that people in cities and
•owns are able to enjoy.
The Church is serious about evangelization and she will not abandon these
people. She will go to those who seek and are waiting for God's word. However, the
lack of funds is hurting the vital effort to bring the message of the Gospel to our
Black and Native American brothers and sisters. Let us be part of this missionary
work, the spirit of evangelization, so that those who have had a chance to hear and
believe may continue to do so.
Your support is needed to meet the needs of those who bring the light of Chrisl
to the impoverished Black and Native American people, I ask you to give
generously on July 8 to the Black and Indian home mission collection.
May God bless you as you strive to keep the missionary spirit within the Church
alive through your prayers and generosity, and with my prayers for God’s continued
blessings in your life, I remain
Yours in Christ,
