Parish Choir
Membership in the Parish Choir is open to all youth and adults in the congregation who are interested in singing and leading the congregational song. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. While the ability to read music is helpful, the main requirement for membership is a desire to serve God and the Church and a willingness to faithfully attend rehearsals and services.
