This was hopefully the final outdoor Drive-In service held under the tree in our parking lot during  the COVID-19 pandemic.  Unfortunately, the clarity of the recording suffered from background noise from a combination of an intermittent wind rumbling in the microphones and the constant sound of the HVAC compressor for St. Thomas  Aquinas  Chapel. The recordings:
