The choir is responsible for enriching the Mass on 10:30 on Sundays and rehearses every Wednesday from 3:45-5 PM. Unique in the area, the choir focuses on singing music from the rich Catholic tradition, including
chant and polyphony, as well as the finest modern church music. Time is devoted to building the children’s skills of music reading, vocal technique, thinking about the words and the structure and meaning of the Mass.
