BANGKOK - A choir formed of Catholic devotees training to join the church in Thailand were rehearsing on Saturday ahead of the visit of Pope Francis next week.
The choir will perform for the pope at St. Peter’s parish in Nakhon Pathom province, about 56 km west of Bangkok, during his trip to the kingdom from Nov. 20 to Nov. 23.“I’m really excited because I’ve never seen the real pope before,” said 18-year-old choir member Yowanna Nueajeen. “I only see him on TV. I feel really overwhelmed and I might shed some tears while singing.”
“We are singing these songs [to the pope] to let him know that we will be following his footsteps,” she said. Chatri Buddeeduang, 50, another choir singer, said he is delighted about the pope’s visit to Thailand and that he was chosen to join the choir.
