“And do ye, each and all, form yourselves into a chorus, that being harmonious in concord and taking the keynote of God ye may in unison sing with one voice through Jesus Christ unto the Father, that He may both hear you and acknowledge you by your good deeds to be members of His Son.” --St. Ignatius of Antioch, to the Ephesians, 4 :1

The Parish Choir sings weekly at the 10:30 am. Solemn Mass from the second Sunday of September through the Solemnity of Corpus Christi each year. All skill levels are invited to join in each of the voice parts. We only ask for your commitment to rehearsals and Mass. We provide the learning, music, and the cassock and surplice. 

Rehearsals are held on Wednesday's, at 5:45pm  in Toner Hall.

The repertoire is in compliance with the mandates of the 2nd Vatican Council’s, Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (Sacrosanctum Concilium, 1963):

• 114. The treasure of sacred music is to be preserved and fostered with great care. Choirs must be diligently promoted, especially in cathedral churches.
• 116. The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services. But other kinds of sacred music, especially polyphony, are by no means excluded from liturgical celebrations, so long as they accord with the spirit of the liturgical action.

For more information on how to join, please contact, Mark LaRosa, the Director of Music and Choirmaster at mlarosa@smparish.com or via the Parish Office, 845 745-4746.. All voice parts are welcomed.  To join fill out this form here: JOIN THE CHOIR
