I am pleased to inform you that we have hired
Samuel Libra D.M.A. as our new Director of Music
and Liturgy at Our Lady of Lourdes. Sam replaces
Nicole Millner and will be joining our staff on
October 9th
.
Sam is originally from Minnesota, although he has worked in
Louisville, Kentucky the past few years. He received his BA from
Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his Master of Music in Organ
Performance from the University of Washington in Seattle
Washington. He also received his Doctor of Musical Arts degree
from the University of Washington in 2020.
Sam has had a wide range of work experiences in various Churches
over the past several years. He comes to us with high
recommendations.
I am pleased and excited that Sam is joining our parish staff and I
invite you extend a warm welcome to him when you have the
chance to meet him.
We would love to be able to add more cantors to our music ministry at Our Lady of Lourdes! Cantors serve an important role by proclaiming the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel, chanting the proper Introit and Communio, and singing the remaining parts of the Mass with the gathered assembly. Please contact Nicole Millner, Director of Sacred Liturgy & Music ([email protected]) if you would like to learn more!
With great joy, I would like to share that the Parish Choir will be returning to sing for Mass at Our Lady of Lourdes. Our first Mass back will be to celebrate the joy of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday (April 17)! Click for more information...
