Joe Lastelic was 10 when Sr. Sabrina taught him to sing. He didn't know how to read notes but they didn't stop him (or Sister) from instilling in him a life-long love of music. At 90, Joe is the senior member of the Cathedral Choir and has sung in many choirs, but this one "is a family."
"I sing because it's a part of me."
