November 10, 2017 Page 2 School News McDonough grad joins a cappella group Pentatonix for the holidays As soon as he could talk, Matt Sallee was likely singing. The Maurice J. McDonough High School graduate can’t remember a time he wasn’t singing, and can’t imagine not doing it. “I sing all the time,” he said. “I don’t even realize I’m singing.” Sallee’s lifelong passion has landed him a spot with the a cappella juggernauts Pentato- nix. Sallee, a bass, joins the group for the holi- day season. “I landed in Los Angeles on Sept. 15 and recorded two songs the next morning,” he said. “I hit the ground running.” Sallee took over for Avi Kaplan, who left Pentatonix in early September when the group was prepping for a holiday tour and adding tracks to its Christmas album. Sallee, who also filmed a music video and television spe- cial with the group ahead of the tour, gradu- ated from McDonough in 2012 where he was active in the chorus and theater programs.

  • Countdown to Christmas: Four Days Left: Wisdom from Saint Peter
    Countdown to Christmas: Four days left: Wisdom from Saint Peter Canisius, first day of winter, Thoreau’s ‘The Pond in Winter,’ today’s O Antiphon and prayer, and more great Christmas music It’s almost Christmas… (Photo by Patti Murphy Dohn) “If you have too much to do, with God’s help you will find time to do it all.” — St. Peter Canisius (1521-1597), whose feast we celebrate today, December 21 Great advice from today’s saint, especially during this hurried week Saint Peter Canisius (1521-1597) ——- Introduction: In the last Advent days leading up to Christmas, I will share some reflections, prayers, and music for you to enjoy during this very hectic holiday season. “Heaven is under our feet is well as over our heads.” —Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) It’s the first day of winter: Comedian Steve Martin once joked “A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.” But it is bright and sunny today and thus hard to believe that it is December 21, the first official day of winter.
