Music

YOUTH CHOIR (Wednesdays 5-6pm) is our children's choir for singers in grades 2 through 5. Singers learn vocal technique through singing games and songs while preparing to sing for liturgies and special events. Youth Choir sings at 8:45 liturgies once each month from September through May, on Christmas Eve and Easter morning, and performs in our annual Candlelight Carol Sing. This email address is being protected from spambots.
