Music Ministry
At Saint Ursula, we have an active music ministry, with something for everyone!
Traditional Choir
The best time to join the choir is when rehearsals resume in the fall. Our Parish Choir at St. Ursula always welcomes new members. We sing a large variety of choral music from all periods: Gregorian Chant through Contemporary works. We also provide liturgical music, mass settings and psalmody for the entire liturgical year. Special emphasis is given to correct singing style and good choral blend. Rehearsals are Thursday evenings from 7pm to 8:30pm and we sing for the 9am Sunday morning mass and other special occasions during Lent, Holy Week, the Christmas and Easter seasons, and Holy Days. Please consider joining us. Contact Mr. Binko or talk to any choir member if you are interested. There are no auditions or prerequisites. Please contact Paul at pbinko@sij.org to inquire about joining. |
