Congratulations are in order for Mr. Peter Weilbaecher (Minister of Music), Rev. Msgr. Kenneth Hedrick (Pastor), and the entire congregation at St. Angela Merici Church in Metairie. St. Angela is a Roman Catholic Church located in the Archdiocese of New Orleans that recently began the process to replace their aging upright piano.
Mr. Weilbaecher took the time to visit Hall Piano Company a number of times to make a selection for the perfect piano for the church and the congregation. Mr. Weilbaecher purchased his personal piano at Hall Piano Company and knew when it was time to make a selection for St. Angela that "Hall Piano was the only place to shop for a piano."
