Choirs

 

Young Voices Choir (Grades 2-8)

Does your child love to sing?  Join the Young Voices choir (Grades 2-8) to experience the JOY of singing the beautiful music of our Catholic faith at Mass.  Singing in a choir gives children the opportunity to use their gifts and talents to bring glory to God, lead the congregation in prayer, and expand their musical skills. The group is open to students from any school setting: public, home-schooled, Catholic school, or other private school.
 
Two rehearsal options:
Track 1: MONDAYS 2:25-3:30pm, OR
Track 2: MONDAYS 4:30-5:30pm
 
Track 1 and Track 2 rehearse separately but sing together for Sunday Mass approximately once per month, as well as Christmas Eve. Singers may join at any point during the year. Email Carissa at [email protected] for more information. 
 
Carissa Bartlett and Kathy Borgen co-direct Young Voices.

11AM GROUP

MAN CHOIR
This enthusiastic group of men leads music at the 11am Mass once per month. New singers and those who do not read music are welcome. Man Choir is directed by Carissa Bartlett and includes contemporary Christian music.

 

Rehearsal: Thursday evenings once per month, 7-8pm (the Thursday prior to when the group sings for Mass)

FUNERAL CHOIR
Rehearsal:  30 minutes prior to the funeral Mass.
 
The funeral choir provides an opportunity to care for the sick and mourning, and remember those who have gone before us. This singing group brings comfort to families during their time of mourning through their gift of music. Funerals are typically scheduled late morning on weekdays. Funeral choir members are not expected to sing for every funeral - simply come as you are able.
