Rev. Fr. Leo G. Alaras OAR received a recognition from the 7th Macau International Choir Festival and Competition (Cantata Macau) last November 29 to December 1, 2024.
Fr. Alaras was awarded for his contribution in the official festival theme song, “Music is Life”, that centered on uniting cultures and the universal language of music.
