Fr Reece Beltrame, a local Albury resident, was ordained a priest at St Michael’s Cathedral in Wagga Wagga on April 2, 2016. St Patrick’s Albury hosted his first Mass (Mass of Thanksgiving) the following day for Divine Mercy Sunday. The St Patrick’s Schola and myself, as organist, were honoured to be asked to provide the liturgical music at this special ceremony.
