Today, Eddie earned his cotta (or surplice), which is the white covering over his red cassock, symbolizing his promotion from a novice to a junior chorister. This is an important step, as it shows Eddie has maintained a level of maturity and dedication to his singing at St. Peter's. Of course, we're very proud of him.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
