Every year for my birthday, I skip the gifts and instead invite friends to support a cause close to my heart. As I turn 55 on January 17th, I’m hoping to raise $1,100 to support Our Lady of the Angels in Worcester.

Our Lady of the Angels is one of the most stunning Neo‑Gothic churches in Central Massachusetts. This fundraiser will provide seed money for a new all‑professional choir to sing for the 2026 Holy Thursday and Easter Vigil liturgies—two of the most important and beautiful celebrations of the church year. Your support helps ensure these liturgies are offered with the musical excellence, beauty, and reverence they deserve.

Many remember when Our Lady of the Angels boasted one of the premier music programs in the city. This project jumpstarts an exciting new chapter in our musical life.

The Birthday Math:

To reach the $1,100 goal:

• 55 friends giving $20

• or 20 friends giving $55

A gift of any size truly makes a difference. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing this link on social media is a wonderful way to help.

Thank you for helping me celebrate 55 years by filling this historic space with beautiful music once again.
