Dear Saint Mary’s Community,

The event below is not sponsored by Saint Mary’s and is an excellent opportunity to celebrate intentionally the rich legacy, profound achievement, and enduring contribution of Mary Lou Williams: “one of the greatest jazz pianists, composers, and arrangers of all time”. The concert will be held at Saint Thomas More Catholic Church from 2 – 3 PM on Sunday, February 11th. Before Superbowl Sunday preparations, take an hour to listen with your community as we remember the legacy of Mary Lou Williams.

Information: Information Here
Location: Saint Thomas More Catholic Church, 1079 Summit Ave, St Paul, MN 55105
Cost: Free
