MUSIC MINISTRY

- On hold because of Covid

COVID NOTE: When we get direction from the diocese and the health unit that we are able to have congregational singing and gatherings of choirs, then we will be re-establishing our various choirs in our family of parishes.  Stay tuned for that time. 

DO YOU LOVE TO WORSHIP GOD THROUGH MUSIC?

Each Family of Parishes church has choirs that provide music during various masses and activities at that church.  If you wish to join a choir (or choirs) please contact the choir director through the contact information provided.
