The choir was

a big hit with parishioners when it performed at St. Gabriel last fall.

One parishioner commented, "After seeing them last year, I wouldn't

miss a chance to see them again."

The choir is

sponsored by Amigos for Christ, a group organized in 1999 by a youth group

from Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Norcross. Amigos for Christ is

now recognized as a nonprofit charity by the federal government. All contributions

are tax deductible and records show that the group uses more than 97 percent

of its money for projects.

Since its founding,

Amigos for Christ has built schools, a health clinic, housing, businesses

and churches in an area that has been the site of several natural disasters

and a civil war. Goals for this year include support for an elementary

school, a home and school for the blind, a technical school, a seminary

and a church, along with providing everyday necessities in the area in

which they live.

The performance

at St. Gabriel's is free, but donations are accepted. All proceeds from

the spaghetti dinner will be donated to the choir to fund its projects.

For more information

on the performance, directions to the church, or the evening's other activities,

call St. Gabriel's parish office, 770-461-0492. The church is on Antioch

Rd. just off Ga. Hwy. 92 South.
