 Sharing Their Gifts of Time and Talent
Lisa Gordon
Parishioner Since 2001
How do you share your time and talents?
Guitar and Cantor in the Music Ministry * Core team * Lecturer for Women’s Catholic Bible Study * Advanced Catechist Certification * Liturgy Commission
What got you started?
Music has always spoken to my heart. Started cantoring and playing for school masses at age 12 (7th grade ~ for 30 years!) At WCBS , I had a major conversion experience and felt profound forgiveness Can’t get enough of God’s word. Liturgy ~ always have loved and appreciated how scripture and Mass weave together.
Why do you continue?
The more I uncover the knowledge of God’s great mysteries, the more I fall in love with Him and the Liturgy. The richness of the symbolism and tradition goes so deep that I will spend my life in wonder as it is revealed through my studies.
~ Favorite Moment ~
Singing with my entire family (including my new son-in-law) at midnight Mass last Christmas, and every time my musical children sing praise and give their gift back to the Giver of All Gifts.
~ Quote ~
From me: “All that is asked of us is to share our gifts with our parish family of God, if I can give service in joy in any way—count me in!!”
From another person: “Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine flows the food and laughter and good red wine, at least I’ve always found it so! Benedecamus Domino!”
