Choir
If you want to join us in singing the praises of God join us Wednesday nights at 6pm for choir practice!
Letter of invitation to interested Parishioners.
Greetings, St. Matthew Catholic Community! I am honored to be of service to you, and I am proud to be
of assistance in the lifting of voices in song to God, as Sacred music is a beautiful form of prayer.
I am conducting rehearsals for the Sunday liturgies from 6:00 P.M., until 7:00 P.M every Wednesday,
unless otherwise noted. If you are available to sing in the Sunday choir, but cannot attend Wednesday
rehearsals, the choir also rehearses 45 minutes before Mass. We will be delving into the rich history of
sacred music the Church has stored up over the centuries, and seeking to add an element of beauty to
the liturgy that is truly transcendent.
Also, please spread the word! If you know someone in the parish who has a beautiful singing voice,
don’t hesitate to give them a little friendly encouragement. They wouldn’t have to sing for all the
Sunday Masses; if they’d rather sing for the one they attend, or as their schedule allows, that’s perfectly
acceptable. I would encourage them to attend rehearsals; that way they are familiar with the music
before they get to Mass, but it is not required.
I look forward to meeting our new choir members, and to working with you in the near future. God’s
blessings be with you.
