"JOY TO THE WORLD" THE 2014 DAUGHTERS OF ST. PAUL CHRISTMAS CONCERT SERIES TOUR BEGINS DECEMBER 3

November 17, 2014 - 3:21 PST

MEDIA ADVISORY

BOSTON, MA (November 17, 2014) - Spreading joy with Christmas music comes naturally to the Daughters of St. Paul Choir, and this 20-year tradition continues as they begin their annual concert tour on Dec. 3.

"We have the largest group we've had in a while," said choir member Sr. Nancy Usselmann during the summer practice sessions. "Every part of the concert is everyone's creativity--we practice, practice, practice."

"It's really fun to get together," agrees Sr. Maria Kim Bui. "We have a special bond."

But the bond they share is not just with each other, it is the gift they give their audiences.

The sisters speak of the stories of hope and joy that their concerts spread.

One faithful fan revealed that she had Stage IV cancer. The sisters did not see her at the concert for a year or two, but then she returned to joyfully tell them her cancer was in remission. "It was your concerts that gave me hope," she said.

The sisters remember those who attend their concerts in their prayers, and speak fondly of special people who touch their ministry. Bernadette, a 15-year old fan with a heart condition attended the concerts every year and wrote to the sisters telling them she knew the words to every song they sang. A highlight for Bernadette came one year when she was invited to sing a song with the choir. Last year the sisters learned of Bernadette's passing during the 2013 concert tour, dedicating the Boston performances to her memory.

"This is a special ministry," said Bui. "Christmas is a special time where we give Christ."

As the Daughters of St. Paul Choir gather from around the nation in New York City Thanksgiving weekend for a few days of practice before embarking on their tour, they hope to bring the grace and love of Christ to others through music."There will be more choreography more surprises, more for the 20th," said Usselmann.
