Description of Choirs:
The Student Leaders group is a scholarship program for gifted high school musicians in the community who can commit to each Sunday the Principal Choir sings, as well as Christmas and Holy Week. Choristers need not be members of the parish to join, but musical preparation outside of rehearsal (held before mass on Sunday) is expected and most of the Student Leaders have experience reading music. The goal of the Student Leaders is to inspire people of all ages and walks of life to grow closer to God through the vast tradition of sacred music.
The Principal Choir sings at the 11am mass. Rehearsal is before the 11am mass from 10:15-10:45. This ensemble primarily focuses on standard repertoire of the American Catholic tradition and leading the congregation in hymns.
The Contemporary Ensemble plays for the 6pm mass every Sunday (reflecting the academic calendar). Rehearsal is before the 6pm mass.
