EXULTATE 2009

It's been 2 months that this blog has not been updated. I have been so busy with lots of activities that I have not got time to surf on the internet.

What I can say about Exultate in 2009 is that Exultate enjoyed numorous moments of meetings, practices and assignments. Enjoying? Yes. I know there were a lot of chalenges and obstacles but we enjoyed them. We did and faced them with big hearts. Even we embraced them as part of our life. What I felt was that those were not easy. There were also moments when I, as one of trainers and choir conductors, felt sad because my friends missed practices without notice. I know they were busy and I could not stop them from doing their business. Nevertheless, they should have told me or Pak Simon about their absence.

December 2009 was a busy month for Exultate. We took part in BMV Choir as well, even we became one of the motors there. But the most difficult happened in the end of the year. It also happened to other choirs and to our parish. Many of our members were on holiday out of town. Meanwhile, religious services at churh, especially eucharists celebrations, must go on. We can understand how difficult it was for Mbak Linda to organise the assignments at the Cathedral.

Exultate took part in BMV Choir assignment for Christmas Eve Eucharist (24 December 2009 at 17.00-19.00). Later, Exultate helped Santher Choir on 25 December at 7.00. Then, we sang for New Year Eve 2009 Eucharist. It was held at 18.00. Father Benyamin Sudarto and two other priests led the Eucharist. The next day, 1 January 2010 at 8.00 Exultate sang during New Year Eucharist in the Cathedral as well.

Well, those are part of our service. The good thing was that many people supported and helped Exultate during those assignments. For New Year Eve mass and the following day's mass, some people from other choir helped Exultate. Pak Thomas Gunawan from St Caecilia, Mbak Elis Titut from Sindangbarang and other kind singers helped Exultate. In this opportunity I would like to thank them for their support and help. May Jesus bless and guide them always.
