The purpose of the choir is to provide sacred music for the sacred Liturgy. The choir strives for excellence in singing Gregorian Chant and other traditional hymns. Our objective is not to entertain but to provide music for “the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful.”
Since Gregorian chant is to be given “pride of place” in the sacred Liturgy, we are working hard to learn to sing it well. Choir rehearsals for the 10:30 a.m. choir are Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. sharp. Anyone who is interested in learning chant and singing in the choir is encouraged to come. We especially need men who can sing tenor or bass or anything! Even though our choir area looks full now, remember we are building a new Chapel with a real choir loft and plenty of room!
There is also a need for a men’s schola to sing the Propers of the Mass in the authentic Gregorian tones. Training will be provided. Rehearsals will be determined by your availability.
We don’t have a formal practice for the 8:00 a.m. choir but if anyone is interested in singing regularly, they can talk to Jeanne Dart after Mass. Children are especially welcome. If there is enough interest, we will set up a rehearsal time for this choir.

Rehearsals for the 10:30 Choir are on Thursday’s from 7-9pm and Sundays at 10:00am.
