[Faith-Talk] Faith-Talk Digest, Vol 145, Issue 8

Tue Aug 20 17:34:09 UTC 2019

Rob, I don't have a lot of advice about getting rides. My Catholic
parishes have always been extremely generous about that when needed;
my sighted wife and I go to mass together but others take me to choir
rehearsal and some other events that she isn't interested in.
Fortunately, although my parish is 20 minutes away, there are a few
people from near me who go.
Have you had any issues with the choir itself? I've been very
fortunate about that too, as I can follow music by ear ater practicing
recordings, and my directors and the other members have been helpful.
I'm in what most of the country would say is the LA area too; actually
Ventura County.
