ST. IGNATIUS/POLSON — Voices will join together for “The Awakening” on Palm Sunday weekend for two choral concerts on April 9 and April 10. The Mission Valley Choral Society will present the first concert at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 9, at the St. Ignatius Catholic Church. The second concert at 4 p.m., Sunday, April 10, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Polson will include the MVCS members as well as community members who will join in for a mass choir presentation for the last two musical numbers.
The Mission Valley Choral Society is practicing under the direction of Christian Bumgarner from 7-9 p.m., Tuesdays, at the New Life Church. Vocalists are welcome to join the group. Mass choir music can be picked up the week of March 14 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Engel & Völkers Real Estate office, 221 Main St. in Polson. YouTube links will be ready March 28.
Those wishing to sing with the mass choir should RSVP as soon as possible so enough music can be provided. To RSVP text your name to Susan Fortner, 406-370-2076, or Valerie Lindstrom, 406-261-3304.
A free-will donation taken at the Saturday concert will benefit the Mission Valley Choral Society and at the Sunday concert will benefit Helping Hands. MVCS donations help cover music expense, and Helping Hands, which has worked in the county for more than 18 years, donations help at risk residents. Current assistance includes: Community Cradle Project, that donates a baby box and supplies to new mothers and guardians in the county; Back-to-School project fills and distributes backpacks throughout the county; donates gas, utilities and personal care items; provides food and volunteers for Thanksgiving Dinner meal distribution in Polson and Ronan; organizes the Salvation Army Bell Ringing; Partners with Share the Spirit to support Christmas projects and “Shop & Drop” COVID relief project that continues today.
Immediately following the Sunday concert at 6 p.m. a meal will be served in the church basement. A free-will offering will be taken for Helping Hands.
