Choir and Handbells

The Children’s Choir is open to all children of the parish in grades 3 - 8. The choir rehearsals take place on Tuesday evenings from 6:45 PM - 7:45 PM. The choir sings at the 8 AM liturgy on the first Sunday of every month and every Wednesday morning at the School Liturgy during the school year. They also lead the singing at the Christmas Eve 5 PM Mass, Easter Sunday at the 8 AM Mass, and May Crowning. At the end of the year, they present a Fine Arts Festival showcasing some of their repertoire to families and friends. The choir also participates in choir festivals through Choristers Guild.

 

The Junior High Choir rehearses every Tuesday in the Music Room during their lunch period. They lead the singing at all of the school liturgies and participate in Archdiocesan choral events.

 

The Junior High Handbell Ensemble, comprised of 7th and 8th grade students, rehearses every Thursday during their lunch hour. Music reading is not necessary. Each ringer is assigned a position with two bells that are color coded, which will eventually teach them to read musical notation. They play at assigned school liturgies throughout the year, and at Christmas, Easter, and the 8th grade graduation ceremony.
