St. Irenaeus Parish Choir members were literally “wined and dined” on the evening of Thursday, January 12th, at St. Irenaeus Parish Hall. The event was a “thank you” to choir members and Music Director, Anthony Kocal, for all their hard work to make the Christmas concert, Noel Night, a success, as well as the beautiful music at Midnight Mass and the whole Christmas Season.

After a short rehearsal, Fr. Aaron Galvizo thanked us all for the extra rehearsals the choir held to prepare music for Christmas. He also blessed the delicious food which was catered by Dominic’s Italian Restaurant in Cypress. The feast included salad, bread sticks, Chicken Marsala, bow tie pasta, meatballs, and rigatoni, as well as assorted wines and water. A scrumptious assortment of desserts topped off this splendid dinner. Pastor, Fr. Binh Nguyen, also joined the party and dined with the choir. A good time was had by all.
