MSC Sisters celebrate Kathleen Boschetti, 60 years professed

The Sisters gathered at Kew on Sunday August 12th - the first such gathering in a long lockdown tiime.

Kathleen was born in Shepparton, Victoria, into a musical family.  Her talents and expertise as an educator and musician have been at the service of the church and community over these years, always with great generosity and good humour.

After study at the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in Rome, she worked at the Liturgical Centre in Melbourne and was also a consultant in music for the Archdiocese of Melbourne and beyond. 

Kumali Coree: Our choir was founded in 1974 by Sr. Kathleen Boschetti MSC at the request of the SSS at St Francis’. Our name, Kumali Coree comes from an indigenous language and the  meaning is Sacred Song.

We also have a smaller group, Kumali Soloists, which is made up of members of Kumali Coree. We sing much local liturgical music and we rehearse on the last Thursday of the month at 5.30 pm in All Saints Parish in Fitzroy. We sing monthly at St Francis’.
