Youth Choir Weekend On March 5 and 6, 2010, renowned choir director Richard Webster of Trinity Church, Boston, came to St. Paul's for a special Youth Choir Weekend, which culminated with a service of Evensong on Saturday, March 6. Thanks to everyone who so generously helped defray costs by supporting our Valentine's Day cookie sale, and by making financial contributions. It was a wonderful event for the choir and plans are underway for a similar event soon..
