Dheparat Pitisant, the pastor of St. Theresa of the Child Jesus Parish, Huahin, organized the Christmas Concert 2023 with the "St. Theresa English Choir". This year, the event was held right in front of the church. The faithful, both local and foreign, came in good number to witness the delightful performances.
At the start of the concert, Fr. Dheparat welcomed the 300 attendees and relayed the message of love which Christmas brings. It is the season of giving, when the God of love gives Himself. The church of St. Theresa is like 'the second home of all'. May the musical show bring happiness to all the families, and may all experience a memorable time.
Right after the message, the choir treated the audience with 1.5 hours of christmas songs, among them the popular one 'Silent Night' and 'We Wish You A Merry Christmas'. At the end of the performance, Fr. Dheparat expressed his gratitude to the choir and offered a bouquet to Ms Maria Nakila, the choir master. He also gave gifts to each of the choir members. It was indeed a night to remember that brought joy to all the audience.
The choir is composed of 24 members, mostly Filipinos. However, there are also 4-5 members who come from Huahin Vitthayalai School. The choir gave their time to practice every Saturday. The choir have been together for the past ten years.
