All rise: Almost 700 people packed the Performing Arts Center at Clayton A. Bouton High School on Saturday evening to listen to nine-time Grammy nominee Matt Mahar. “We feel that music is a very powerful tool for evangelization; that sometimes music can move and stir the soul in directions that, maybe, something else hasn’t,” said Peggy McQuade, the pastoral associate for hospitality at Saint Matthew’s Church, which helped sponsor the event.
