After talking to the priest, we agreed that it should be a recommendation confirming my involvement in parish life, participation in the liturgy, maybe something about the choir, and a general sense of &#8220;being present&#8221;. The priest prepared and signed the document &#8211; for which I\u2019m truly grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to contact the organist school and arrange a meeting with the director. All documents must be submitted by <strong>June 30<\/strong> &#8211; and that\u2019s my plan.
