GLENDALE In a year packed with tragedy, shock, and sorrow, the Parishioners at St. Pancras Church welcomed a salve of music to celebrate Advent but also boost the mending of broken hearts.
“A Concert for Healing” features performances of classic liturgical music that conveys the healing power of Jesus Christ and the enduring love of his mother, Mary. The 55-minute event showcases the talents of the parish’s volunteer cantors, accompanied by other members of the music ministry and pastoral staff.
