Traditional Choir sings in four part harmony at the 9.30am mass. Along with the hymns of the weekend, the Traditional choir also sings a special choral prelude before mass begins. This choir is open to all singers from high school age and up; an audition is held to figure out part placement. The Director is currently very interested in finding new altos and tenors for the Traditional Choir. This group rehearses on Tuesdays from 7.30pm to 9.pm in the choir loft.
Youth Choir invites school-age singers from grade 3 through 8 to sing at the 11.30am mass on Sundays. The Youth Choir also sings at special liturgies such as Christmas Eve, Easter Sunday, Confirmation, and First Communion. This group focuses on a fun learning environment to expand the children’s knowledge of the how and why of sacred music. New singers are always welcome! Rehearsals are weekly on Tuesdays from 5.30pm to 6.30pm in the choir loft.
All School Choir is a youth group comprised exclusively of St. Mary School students for All School Masses throughout the year. Children in grades 3 through 8 are invited to lead the school community in singing hymns and praising God. Students are encouraged to leave their name with the front office or speak with Ms. Kovacs to join this ensemble. Rehearsals are on Tuesdays during the recess period.
Funeral Choir consists of volunteers who sing for funerals at St. Mary’s church along with the grieving family and friends. Because of the unpredictable nature of funerals, there are no rehearsals for this choir. Singers receive email notification of funerals a few days before the burial mass. This ensemble has a special invitation with those who are retired, since funerals are generally scheduled during the early afternoon on weekdays.
