Please consider sharing your time and talent by joining this music ministry. They practice on Thursday at 6:45 pm. Feel free to just show up or call Rick at 905-646-1798.
Sunday 11:00 am Mass
The Director and accompanist (guitar) for the 11:00 choir is Rick Tracey. Alison Morawek accompanies on the flute. Liz Cesar plays keyboard. The choir is comprised of Paulette Helesic, Salve Raro and Laura and Emily Toal Mino. Ed McNamara provides a welcome male voice on most Sundays as does Richard Hancock.
As this is the Missa enim Populus (People’s Mass), in meeting the needs of the assembly, we try to select music that is both traditional and contemporary. Hymns are chosen to reflect the themes of the readings of the day.
Choir practice takes place every Thursday evening at 6:45 p.m. in the church. Use the parking lot entrance. Also we ask that choir members attend at least 30 to 45 minutes before Mass in order to prepare themselves for Mass.
For special occasions during Lent and Advent, e.g. Evening Prayer, Ash Wednesday, the Triduum, the choirs join together at practice and for the services.
If you are interested in joining the choir, please contact Rick at (905) 646-1798 (rtracey@sympatico.ca) or attend practice to see if this ministry interests you.
