This past week, Sorella Cannariato had her best day as a missionary and it involved a funeral. Let me explain. Wednesday evening, Bishop Pappagallo's wife called us desperately in need of our help. The Catholic husband of a less active sister to whom she ministers, passed away. Sister P wanted to help with the music, so she called us and two of the sister missionaries to play/sing at the funeral Thursday morning.
Dawn was up for the challenge of playing an organ she'd never seen in a lovely small town cathedral in Palo del Colle (Stake of the Hill) about 25 minutes out side of Bari. After okaying our music with the priest, Dawn did a wonderful job with prelude, the sisters sang the opening and closing hymn and Dawn even played a sacrament hymn during the passing of the communion. Of course all of the music was from our hymnal. Great opportunity for my dear companion.
