Do you know a child who loves to sing? Consider signing them up for one of our fantastic youth choirs! There are 3 ensembles, according to grade levels: Pueri Cantorum (grades 2-4), new Harmonia Cantorum (grades 5-8), and Gradus Cantorum (grades 9-12). No audition required! Choristers rehearse on Saturdays in the school choir room. Pueri rehearses from 10-10:30 a.m.; Harmonia rehearses from 10:30-11:15 a.m.; and Gradus rehearses from 11:15 a.m. -12:15 p.m. Choristers also sing for select Masses throughout the choir season (September - May). All choristers receive training in music theory (Western notation and chant), English and Latin pronunciation, musicianship, and ensemble skills. Choir participation is free to all parishioners, but registration is required. Please contact conductor Mrs. Sharon Burchill to register or for more information: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Rehearsals begin on September 17!
The parish is always looking for more Altar Servers. We accept males who have at least received their First Holy Communion through adult age servers. Training is held weekly, Wednesday evenings during the school year, from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Church. The first training for 2022-2023 was on Wednesday, September 7th—but it’s not too late to sign up. Please note that adult altar servers will need to complete their safe environment clearances prior to attending training.
