At Saint James Parish we have 2 different choirs. There is the Children’s Choir and the Parish Choir. The Children’s Choir sings at the 10:00am Mass and the Adult’s Choir sings at the 12:00pm Mass on Sundays.
Family Mass (Children’s) Choir – Our young parishioners are an active part of the liturgical life of our parish through participation in choir at the 10:00am Mass.
Parish Choir – A group consisting of parishioners ages 14 through 99+ who share their gift of music with our parish community during the 12:00pm Masses. In addition to singing at Mass, the Parish Choir also participates in our Holy Days throughout the year, including Christmas, and the Holy Week liturgies.
Rehearsals for the Children’s choir takes place after the 10:00am Mass. Rehearsals for the Adult’s Choir takes place after the 12:00pm Mass. Rehearsals consist of reviewing hymns for the liturgies, as well as learning new choral materials: anthems, new hymns and new Mass settings when applicable. Through rehearsing, members will receive proper choral training to enhance their skills which in turn will improve the quality of the choir.
