Music makes the heart sing . . . Music gives wings to the soul


ac-choir

The variety of musical style and language represented in our parish choirs reflects the essence of St. Joseph the Worker, a multicultural parish united in faith and mission. We are blessed with nine wonderful choirs, which provide music on Sundays and other occasions. They move us, inspire us, and enable each of us to become active participants in the Mass.

Grateful to God for the gift of music, members of our parish choirs share their faith through music. They strive to enhance the devotion of the worshiping community and provide prayerful leadership to the assembly’s musical participation.

Traditional Choir: The 35-member choir leads the assembly regularly. Rehearsals: Tuesday evenings, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m.

Children’s Choir: Young people from the Religious Education Program, St. Joseph the Worker School, and the parish community are invited to participate in parish liturgies by joining the Children’s Choir. The children learn about singing and choral performance, while having fun and making new friends, and begin to learn about the role of music in prayer. No previous choral music experience is required.
Enrollment takes place in the fall and is announced.
