Cantors

Kelechi Amaechi (KC) is a native Nigerian and the youngest child in her family. She feels blessed to be a member of SPX Music Ministry and finds it truly an honor to be welcomed and loved by this great family of God.

She thanks Dan and her fellow choristers for allowing her to serve God and the Church. She hopes we may all continue to worship God in truth and spirit and lead souls into the Divine Presence of God, Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit! 

Terry May-Hajdar is a life-long member of the Diocese of Dallas, having attended Good Shepherd Catholic School in Garland and graduating from Bishop Lynch High School.

In subsequent years, she served as a cantor at Our Lady of the Lake in Rockwall, St. Michael the Archangel in Garland, and St. Philip in Dallas. She briefly served at St. Pius X under the direction of Johnnie Cardinale and as youth choir director.

Terry recently retired from Bishop Lynch High School, where she was employed for almost 30 years, working in various positions – most recently, she was the theatre manager for the past 20 years. Terry and her husband Sandor are the parents of a combined six children and they are the grandparents of thirteen. She is extremely honored to be back at St. Pius X serving in this important ministry. “The one who songs prays twice.” – St. Augustine

Phillip Young grew up in Casa View and the St. Pius X Parish. He has witnessed and shared our parish motto "Love One Another." He began song-leading in his teenage years and had many excellent mentors. In 1999, he married Andrea Foster, who also grew up in Casa View, at St. Pius X. Their son, Collin, attended St. Pius X School and Bishop Lynch HS.

Phillip has been honored to help lead our congregation in song over the last 38 years. He is grateful to help the People of God worship in song and draw closer to God our Father, his Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Mary, mother of God.
