We sing at the 11:00 a.m. Mass, as well as on some holy days and special parish celebrations. We welcome and encourage singers of all musical skill levels, from first-time beginners to skilled professionals to join us for a fun, musically enriching, and spiritually rewarding experience. We are preparing lots of music from a range of styles for this year's choir, and we are also planning on having a few social events along the way. Instrumentalists are also welcome and encouraged to join us!
