One of the reasons we returned home was to attend the Westminster Boys choir concert at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis on Wednesday evening.
2 thoughtful people believed we would not return and asked if I wanted them to sell my tickets.
I am really glad we attended. The harmonious voices combined with the church's acoustics gave those in attendance a taste of heaven.

For those who have never been to St. Louis' magnificent cathedral, it is known for it's exquisite mosaic tile work throughout especially on all of the ceilings.
Initially, I had some apprehension about concerts being performed in a church. However given that they sang the Latin mass, it was the only fitting setting for such sublime music. For those of us in attendance from St. Francis de Sales, we felt fortunate to be able to experience this every Sunday at 10:00 high mass under the direction of Mr. Nick Botkins. I would highly recommend attending the Westminster Boys Choir if given the chance. They are sure not to disappoint.
