On the serene evening of January 6th, 2026, under a tapestry of stars shimmering in a velvety sky, The Choir from Saint Mary Star of the Sea, Port Townsend WA., playing at the small farm of the Choir Director, Franco, held two powerful performances that resonated deeply with all who gathered at a quiet rustic small farm in the early evening near Quilcene, WA. Near the northernmost part of the Olympic Peninsula in East Jefferson County. A poignant moment came with "I Want To Be Ready," bursting forth with the lively rhythms and spirited melodies characteristic of bluegrass music. Infectious energy filled the space as voices lifted high, celebrating not just faith but also friendship — the kind that thrives through joyous gatherings and heartfelt communion. As laughter mingled with song, we were invigorated by an unwavering sense of community, ready to face whatever lay ahead. Then, “Silent Night,” enveloped the church community in a hushed reverence; each note unfurled like soft snowflakes falling gently on Little Christmas. We found ourselves wrapped in an embrace of spirituality and warmth, our hearts beating with the rhythm of one, friends bound by shared devotion and belonging.
