[Magdalen] Altar Book available

[Grace Cangialosi]

Jo, I'm afraid I had to laugh at your question about whether any churches
still used paper altar books!  I'm not aware of any churches in our area
that *don't* use them!  I'll be starting to do supply again in February,
and I sincerely hope I don't have to supply in a church that doesn't use
them--I'd be completely lost!
The other evening I went to a community program of Christmas music from
many different groups.  One group of young people was reading all of the
music off of iPads--it was one of the strangest things I've ever seen!
