WHITING, Ind.  — Caitlin McEnery, one of the teen cantors at St. Mary Byzantine Catholic Parish, won her second gold medal at an Indiana state singing competition.

The sophomore at Whiting High School earned a perfect score at her district competition in Munster, Indiana, Feb. 2, allowing her to compete against 1,500 other students at the state competition in Indianapolis Feb. 16.

McEnery earned her gold for her performance of “Maria Wiegenlied,” or “The Virgin’s Slumber Song,” by Max Reger. She learned some German for her performance, with the help of Corrine Cox, a retired German instructor and parishioner of St. Nicholas Parish in Munster.
