DRG FRANCISCA ELIAS' HAPPY MOMENT

Sunday, 18 January 2008 at 13.00 in the Cathedral.

Theresia Cynthia Rozyanda Asi, daughter of Ibu Francisca Elias (drg Cisca) and Bapak Eka, married FX. Rodo Tua Hasiholan Sitohang, son of Bapak and Ibu D. Sitohang.

The liturgy of Sacrament and the Eucharist were led by Father Thomas Slamet Riyadi from Ciluar Parish. The church was almost full of family members and their friends and colleagues. Exultate joined the happines by singing the liturgical songs...

The mass was preceeded by a song “Rahmat Kasih Perkawinan” (MB 1001). To accompany the bride and the groom when they entered the church, Sheila played the instrument “The Wedding”. For the offering procession, there was a Batak traditional musical instrument prepared by Rodo’s family.

In general the mass ran smoothly... and the songs were sung well... except when Father Thomas sang the doxology ... he sang differently from the common musical note... and this created confusion to everyone when we sang “Amen..."

The biggest surprise came from Father Thomas when he sang “From This Moment” during the signing of the church documents. His voice was terrific... and the way he sang was excellent.

We found that the liturgical service was a solemn... merry... happy one... It was a really happy moment...

For Exultate, the most unforgettable thing is the choir uniform... The new uniform we were wearing during the mass were given by Ibu Cisca... Thank you very much, doctor Cisca. Congratulations to Cynthia, Rodo, Ibu Cisca, Pak Eka and all their family members.

ASSIGNMENT OF JANUARY 2009


Exultate started 2009 by singing during the mass held on Thursday, 1 January 2009 at 8.00 at the Cathedral. It was a holy mass for St Mary Mother of God. Mbak Rina and Pak Ludo led the assignment.

The next assignments will be on Sunday, 11 January 2009, at 7.00 at the Cathedral (Feast of the Baptism of the Lord). Then on Sunday, 18 January 2009 at 13.00, Exultate has to sing at the holy matrimony Eucharist at the Cathedral (for Cynthia –dr Cysca’s daughter-- and Rodo). The last assignment in January 2009 will be on Sunday 25 January 2009 at 7.00 at the Cathedral (Ordinary Sunday III). So, there are 4 assignments altogether in January 2009.

We hope that Exultate will be able to serve well in 2009. We also hope to have more members to join... Viva Exultate.

YEAR-END ASSIGNMENT 2008


Exultate did not get a special assignment for Christmas celebrations in 2008 as most members took part in BMV Parish Choir for the assignment on 24 December 2008. Still, Exultate had to sing on 31 December 2008 at 18.00 at the Cathedral. To Exultate’s surprise, the year-end Eucharist was led by Bogor Bishop Mgr Michael Cosmas Angkur OFM and BMV parish pastors including the Vicaris General and Parish Pastor RD. Benyamin Sudarto, and other pastors such as RD. Monang Damanik, RD. D.S. Tukiyo, RD. Alfons Sebatu and RD. Frans Mulyadi. Mbak Rina became our condutor and Pak Ludo sang the psalm. At first we thought that there would be a few Exultate members who could sing in the Eucharist, but it turned out that more members joined as they had finished their year-end holidays. The church was full, even many people had to sit outside. The weather outside was good... We closed 2008 with cheerful heart and great hope for the best in 2009.

CHRISTMAS EVE EUCHARIST 2008

On Wednesday, 24 December 2008, at 17.00-19.00, Exultate took part in the assignment of BMV Parish Choir for the Chrismas Eve Eucharist at the Cathedral. The Eucharist was led by Bogor Bishop Mgr Michael Cosmas Angkur OFM. As usual the choir was led by Pak Marhadi and me. The organist was Mbak Myrna. The proclamation (Maklumat) and the Psalm were sung by Mas Markus. For the ordinarium, Misa Brevis was still used. The Eucharist ran well... Merry Christmas...
Better late than never...
I would like to wish you all,
Exultate members and your family,
and Exultate’s blog readers,
a Merry Christmas 2008
and
a Happy New Year 2009.

May Jesus always live in you and among us...
to guide, bless and accompany you everytime and everywhere...
