"Rejoice Tonight" was released in December 2006, and the first printing of 500 cds sold out in one weekend. Profits from sales of the recording (over $3000 so far) were sent to St. Mary of the Assumption Church in New Orleans, to help repair the pipe organ that was damaged by hurricane Katrina. St. Mary's, incidentally, is featured prominently in many books by the author Anne Rice.



The cd featured all current members of the group, and many former ones. In all, eighteen musicans contributed to the recording. It was dedicated to the two previous Pastors of St. Luke's: Msgr. Ferland and Fr. Jenkinson.



Initial recording of the drums was done at the church, but the bulk of the cd was recorded in David Lauria's basement! The song "Rejoice Tonight" was written specifically for the cd. Although we plan on reordering cds for an upcoming holiday season, tracks can always be purchased from iTunes. Many other digital download services are carrying the music, too - check here for a complete list.
