For a quarter of a century, Ray has filled this
Cathedral with music that lifts our hearts, stirs our souls, and
occasionally convinces us that the angels themselves are humming
along from the rafters. He has weathered countless rehearsals, heroic
feats at the organ console, and more Advents, Feast Days, and
snowstorm Sundays than most musicians dare to imagine.
And now—after 25 years of glorious anthems, world
premieres, processionals, recessional triumphs, and the occasional
knowing glance from the organ loft—we finally offer Raymond a fitting
tribute: cake and fellowship with the people who cherish
him.
So grab a slice of cake,
enjoy a laugh, share a memory, and help us celebrate the remarkable
ministry of a musician who has shaped the sound and spirit of Saint
Mark’s for a generation.
Cheers to 25 years, Raymond — and here’s to many more
notes, more joy, and more music shared together.
In Peace,
Tim+
