VOICE TRIALS FOR BOYS & GIRLS: Do you know of any boy or girl with musical potential who loves music and might like to sing in one of the country’s top choirs? We are looking for new choristers between the ages of 7 & 10. New boys and girls usually already have a love of singing and often play a musical instrument. Every new member is offered free vocal and theory tuition and many former choristers have gone on to become professional musicians or gain music scholarships at university. A structured rehearsal programme means that the time commitment is far less than for other cathedral choirs, particularly at the weekends. To find out more please contact Mrs. Claudine Tat on 0113 244 8634 email: music@leedscathedral.org.uk. SAINTS THIS WEEK St. Andrew Kim Taegon & Companions: Andrew, Paul Chong Hasang and 101 other Korean martyrs were canonised in 1984, representatives of the 10,000 Catholics, of all ages and social status, martyred in Korea before 1882. Andrew, born in 1821, was the first native Korean priest to be martyred. St. Matthew: born at Capernaum. He was a taxgatherer when called by Jesus. He wrote his Gospel in the Hebrew language, and tradition has it that he preached the Faith in the East. St. Pius of Pietrelcina: born on 25th May 1887, at the age of sixteen he entered the novitiate of the Capuchin Friars and was ordained priest in 1910. His ministry displays a remarkable devotion to prayer and the sacraments. He also committed himself to relieving the pain of many families, chiefly through the foundation of the “House for the Relief of Suffering”. He died in 1968.
