Interesting fact #1: The director of the Sunday 7pm Choir helped start the Anno Domini Chamber Singers along with David Jafelice, and also sung in the ADCS choir for many years.

Interesting fact #2: See if you can find the director of the Sunday 7pm Choir singing in the Hallelujah Chorus virtual choir video, a musical 'Easter Egg' hunt of sorts!
