STUDENT CHOIR

A New Approach
Every family's schedule is different, so we are making this as easy as possible with only ONE meeting time per week, that being on Sunday at 9:00 AM, then the group just stays and sings for the Mass at 9:30 AM. Students in grades 3 are welcome to participate to learn about music, the Mass, service and to be with other students and families that want to learn the faith, love God and be the best that they can be.
The first "Hello!" session will be on Sunday, September 15th right AFTER the 9:30 AM Mass for about 20 minutes (there is no religious ed class that day).
The first Sunday the group sings will be September 22nd, meeting up at 9:00 AM. Please see Mr. Louis Scarpa after any mass or send an email to ministry@stmarycloster.org to get involved "CHURCH!"
ST. MARY'S ADULT CHOIR

Try It!
Consider giving back to God and having an enriching and good time in the process. You do NOT need to know how to read music or to be a "singer"! It's really quite easy. The group works hard but has a great time. Just give it a try, there is no big audition, just a warm welcome. Rehearsals are Tuesdays at 7:30 PM and the group sings about 2x a month for the Noon Mass. Please see Mr. Louis Scarpa after any mass or send an email to ministry@stmarycloster.org.
