Primary Ministry - 9:30 AM Sunday Liturgy (except Advent & Lent), Holy Week, Sacred Triduum, High School Graduation Liturgy

Presently, the Adult Choir is comprised of approximately 40 persons. Any confirmed parishioner is eligible to be considered for membership. There is no process of audition. Primary, anyone interested should come to rehearsal to experience our procedures and discover a comfort level in relationship to the four ranges: Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. Many current members do not read music, but they have been able to understand theory concepts presented in the course of a rehearsal session. Enthusiasm for worship and commitment to the schedule are the only two "requirements" for membership, with a strong goal of working with others in harmony.
