CATHOLIC - BAPTIST PARTNERSHIP HOSTS MOREHOUSE COLLEGE CHOIR
St. Raymond of Penafort Parish, in partnership with Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church, will host an evening of praise featuring the renowned 40-member Morehouse College Glee Club. In addition to their performance the young men of Morehouse -- the only all-male historically black college in the U.S. -- will also offer an introduction of themselves and stand as an example of what young African-American men can aspire to be. St. Raymond and Enon Tabernacle are co-sponsoring the event to promote peace and offer a positive image of young black men in the West Oak Lane community.
7:00 p.m.
Enon Tabernacle Baptist Church
Cheltenham Avenue & Vernon Road

The concert is also intended to foster better understanding and cooperation among churches in the West Oak Lane section of Philadelphia. St. Raymond Parish School serves more than the Catholic families of the neighborhood. Of its 294 students, 78 percent are non-Catholic, and 20 are members of Enon Tabernacle Church. Proceeds from the concert will benefit the youth of St. Raymond and Enon Tabernacle.
The event is free and open to the public. Free will offerings will be accepted at the door.
