Parish Choir

This group of about 40 singers rehearses once a week on Wednesday nights and sings each Sunday at the 10:45 a.m. Mass. The Parish Choir sings music in a mix of hymns, chants, contemporary, gospel, classical motets, anthems… you name it!. Some music reading ability is helpful, but it is not required. Rehearsals begin Wednesday, September 14th.

Choral/Instrumental Ensemble

This slightly smaller group (about 20 members) combines voices, guitar, piano, flute, and other potential instruments in music of varying styles, focusing on the contemporary music of the Church. The Ensemble rehearses on Thursday evenings and normally sings at the Saturday 5:00 p.m. Mass. Instrumentalists should have good music-reading skills; for singers, reading ability is helpful but not required. Rehearsals begin Thursday, September 15th.
