Chad Berlinghieri loves music. Now others are benefiting from his passion.

Recently, the children’s music education program at St. Columban School in Garden Grove received 30 shiny new snare drums, a gift from Berlinghieri, a cantor at St. Anne’s Church in Seal Beach. Father Al Baca, pastor, gratefully received the donation that Music Minister Rosemarie Elliott has already put to good use. Recently, fifth graders used the drums while marching in the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival parade.

“This was about the same age that I personally started my music training,” Berlinghieri said. “I hope to inspire the next generation of artists!”
