"A church without a choir is like a body without a soul."  -John Rutter

 

Parish Choir

The Parish Choir meets on Thursday evenings from 7:15-9:00 pm in the church.  We sing at mass 3 weekends each month, as well as on Holy Days and special occasions.  The choir sings from September-June and has the summer months off.  We welcome anyone who is in high school or older to participate in the choir.  No experience is necessary!  We also welcome those who play instruments. Please note: while we welcome new members throughout the entire year, we typically do not take new members the 3-4 weeks before Christmas and Holy Week as we are making final preparations for those two major feasts..  

Youth Choir for Christmas and Easter
The Youth Choir sings on Christmas Eve (4pm) and Easter Sunday (11am).  Rehearsals are held the four weeks before each mass.  Students in grades 2 and up are welcome to sing in this group.  (1st grade students who can read well are also welcome to join.)  Choir members are invited to participate in our annual Christmas and Easter concerts.

Summer Choir
During the months of July and August our summer choir sings at mass.  We sing at the 9:00 am mass in July and the 11:00 am mass in August.  The choir is open to members of any of the choirs as well as anyone in the parish.  We rehearse 45 minutes before mass in the Learning Center.  This is a great way to try out the choir without having to make a formal commitment.  Come and try it out one Sunday or for the entire summer.  You just might want to join one of the choirs the following fall!

Cantors
The cantor’s role is to lead congregational singing at mass as well as proclaim the Responsorial Psalm and Gospel Acclamation.  Cantors are typically chosen from within one of the choirs.  An audition and basic training are required to become a cantor.  We are currently at our maximum of 12 cantors, however prospective cantors are invited to join the parish choir and will be notified when there is an opening.

Instrumentalists
We welcome individuals to play instruments to join the music ministry.  Some examples of instruments that we can include are guitar, bass, drums, flute, clarinet, violin, cello and trumpet.  Anyone high school age and above is welcome to play an instrument.  A short audition may be required.
