On April 19, 2009, our beloved cantor Helena Buscema celebrated her 25th anniversary as a music minister here at St. Monica.  As a kickoff to a year-long celebration for 30 YEARS of YMA & Outreach programs, we proudly present a special Audio CD from that Sunday evening's liturgy.

Present at the Mass were 50+ vocalists and instrumentalists from various era's of music making at the Sunday 5:30 mass.  Directed by Greg Hayakawa & Ed Archer, with Mark Thie and friends in the band, this was surely an unforgettable evening of worship!

The CD contains selections of music from the liturgy, a one-of-a-kind preface from Delis Alejandro & Mike Norman, pastor Msgr. Lloyd Torgerson and a special thank you from Helena at the end.
