Last weekend was the Luke 18 retreat weekend at our church. About 80-90 8th graders go through a retreat to prepare themselves to become confirmed in the Catholic church. The retreat is run by the Life Teens in our parish. Each year they end their retreat with the 5:30 Life Teen mass. This is our favorite Mass. It is always filled with teenagers and is full of great music and worship. When the "Lukers" are there....it's one of the best masses of the year.
What makes it great is the music. John and the band do a great job. One of the highlights is always when John stops the band and the kids continue to sing....70 voices fill the church....no more guitars, drums and piano....just them. It's just a fantastic sound.
Great Job St. Alban Roe!
Here is one of the songs they did on Sunday....Listen to the lyrics.....very cool!
BTW...it is not them....this is the band who actually wrote the song....SAR also does the acoustical version!!

That's so funny that you blogged about this, Pete. I, too, find this amazing and very moving. I actually had tears streaming down my cheeks (and none of our kids were even involved with this one!). It is sooo awesome to see the kids take over without the assistance of John. I was actaully praying he would stop to see if they would sing to the Lord on their own and they did, It was GREAT!
