Ensembles
Adult Choirs: PSALT and Traditional
The Adult Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30pm, and sings at the 8:45am or 11am Sunday Masses. If you are a teen or an adult of any age you can join this group. We sing everything from traditional hymns to modern Christian contemporary songs. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of choral music or a beginner, come join this enjoyable group. Not only do we sing together, but we also fellowship together!
The PSALT group is also a multi-part harmony group that incorporates instruments and light percussion for the Saturday 6pm Masses. With a varied repertoire and a dedicated core group of musicians, PSALT welcomes singers and instrumentalists to join their ranks! Rehearsals are just before the Saturday Mass at 4:30pm.
Youth Choir
The Youth Choir welcomes children and students from Grade 1 to 8. Although in the past, the group used to be split into two groups, (Grades 1-2: Primary Praise -and Grades 3-8: Junior Choir), it is presently a single group, rehearsing on Thursdays from 3:10 to 4:00pm. There are plans to create a Schola, a small madrigal singing group more dedicated to students Grades 6-8 and older
