AMAZING GRACE CHOIR (SATURDAY 4:00 P.M. MASS)
The Amazing Grace Choir is always looking for enthusiastic people who want to develop a deeper appreciation for prayer through music.
We sing at the 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday (we meet at 3:00 p.m.) and rehearse on Wednesdays from 7:30-9:00 p.m. Previous experience is not necessary, just a desire to learn and a willingness to make the commitment.
We sing all styles of music from contemporary to gospel, from classical to jazz. We strive to be liturgically correct and to make sure our music selection reflects the readings each week.
Don‘t sing or play an instrument? We have a spot for you as well. We love to use different instrumentation in our songs. We are also looking for a pianist to accompany the choir.
CELEBRATION CHOIR (SUNDAY 9:30 A.M. MASS)
The Celebration Choir supports the music liturgy at the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sundays. They hold rehearsals every Thursday night from 7:00-8:30 p.m. and meet at 8:45 a.m. Sunday mornings. The choir consists of 15 to 20 dedicated members who also perform special roles as cantors, organist, pianist, percussion and hand bell players, instruments players, and special directors.
With supporting the Liturgy of the Word as the primary purpose, the choir director uses the lectionary to plan music and songs that are always appropriate for the season, be it ordinary time or a special feast or holy day.
The Celebration Choir always prepares a special celebration in music for Christmas that is performed before the Christmas Eve Mass for the enjoyment of the gathering worshippers.
The final role of the Celebration Choir is to provide fellowship, friendship and prayer assistance to the members of the group and the parish. Some of the members have been together for over 10 years. They all feel like extended family members and reach out to others inside and out of the group to encourage them to follow the Catholic faith.
LIFE TEEN BAND (SUNDAY EVENING MASS)
This music group is dedicated to worship as an accompaniment to the congregation as we join Heaven in song during the Mass. We try to incorporate both contemporary Christian music and traditional hymns in our worship music. The group practices from 3:30-5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
CHILDREN’S CHOIR
The Children’s Choir is open to all grade-school children who love singing God’s praises. They rehearse after Religious Education classes Tuesday afternoons. They sing at one of the Masses about every two months, switching off between the various services.
