we're now officially out of smota choirs' psalmist roster. just received a confirmation that from this coming palm sunday onwards, the choir groups will no longer be responsible for psalms and gospel acclamations. I suppose the newly formed psalmist ministry will take charge.

this was in a way our own decision, as we chose not to be included in the training conducted these past few months. we're just being lazy bums, and there was only one available slot left. under the newly implemented regulation, only certified psalmists are allowed to psalm and/or cantor, and they have to also be ready to get called for other liturgies.

it's been about 6 years.

so long, farewell..
