Reverend Binh Nguyen, pastor of St. Irenaeus Catholic Church in Cypress, and Anthony Kocal, music director of St. Irenaeus, greet members of the parish choir at a taco party in the priests’ yard behind the Cinco Rectory of Mayo, May 5, 2022. Pr. Binh and the choir director Anthony Kocal wanted to thank the choir members for all the hard work they have done in learning the music of the Sunday liturgies and in particular for actively participating in the traditional liturgies of the Week Holy.
The choir members met from 6:00 p.m. to 7:15 p.m. in the education building in Saint-Irénée to first review the music that choir director Kocal has prepared for the services the following Sunday. .
The Choir Taco Party actually started around 7:30 p.m. The choir members, some spouses and a few other important people, took the opportunity to enjoy a relaxing evening in what was one of the few in-person gatherings in Saint-Irénée since Corona 19. the virus has led to restrictions on gatherings. Choir members and their guests were treated to chicken, beef and pork tacos, rice, beans, quesadillas, water, tea, wine and cookies for dessert. The delicious tacos were served by Alfonso, from Tamayo Catering.
Everyone enjoyed the tasty rice, beans and quesadillas, onions and hot sauces prepared by Tamayo Catering. It was a wonderful Cinco de Mayo taco party! The choir members appreciated Fr. Binh and Anthony Kocal’s extra effort to provide this special time to enjoy the friendship and fellowship with each other as part of the music ministry at the St. Irenaeus Church. Thanks, Father. Binh and Anthony Kocal!
