Dianne McMullen – Farewell and Thanks ~ Since June 2015, Dianne McMullen has served magnificently as our organist for Sunday liturgies and often for weddings or funerals as requested or needed. Dianne also worked with our choir in preparing for their participation at the 11 o’clock Mass during the year. Dianne is a tenured professor at Union College and will be taking students for a semester abroad in Ireland later this year. She told me that she will not be returning as organist when she returns. It was a personal decision and she said that she will miss not being here. I told her that we would gladly keep her on our list of substitutes and look forward to working with her as time and opportunity permit. I am happy to announce that beginning August 19, Avery Tunningley, our Parish Music Director, will be taking over Dianne’s responsibilities.
