For the half-hour program, he’s joined by Cynthia Webster, pianist at St. Joseph’s.

They’ll be singing and playing several Psalms including “Psalm 98: All the ends of the Earth have seen the power of God” by Haas, “Psalm 69: Thy rebuke hath broken his heart” by Handel, “Psalm 62: Only in God is my soul at rest” by Talbot, and many more.

In 2014, he became a diplomate certified by the American Board of Optometry.
