"Spirit of Music Ministry" 2019 Awarded to Bernie Libao

Past and present award winners, left to right: Jeanette Heiner, Collin Hunters, Ann Ryan, Bernie Libao

Each year, our parish recognizes on special person that exemplifies the true spirit of music ministry. This is the highest award in our music ministry and is presented each spring at the music ministry appreciation banquet. We are proud to announce this year’s recipient, Bernadette Libao.

Bernie has been a part of our parish music ministry for over two decades. In this time she has served as a clarinetist in the former noon-Mass music ensemble, cantor, and chorister. She recently toured with our choir in Ireland and can be found in the alto section most Sundays at the 9am Mass. Bernie is known for her sense of humor and ability to make her fellow choristers chuckle, even during the most intense rehearsal. She is also known for her great respect and devotion to the Eucharist.

Thank you, Bernie, for all that you do!
