St. Agnes choir to hold ‘Spring dinner’ fundraiser In June 2012, the St. Agnes Cathedral Choir of Men & Boys will be traveling to the Vatican to sing for Pope Benedict XVI. In addition to their performance for the Holy Father, the choir is also scheduled to perform in churches in Venice, Florence and Milan. The trip promises to be an incredible experience for the choir, but as you may imagine — an expensive one as well. To help offset the boys’ travel expenses, parents will be fundraising over the next year. Their kick-off will be the “Spring Dinner” on April 1 at Kasey’s Kitchen and Cocktails on N. Park Avenue. For more information, contact Tina Rekus at ( 516) 538-1631 or e-mail her at cpr828@aol.com.
