Musical Opportunities
Festival Choir
The Saint Luke Festival Choir sings at the 11:00 Mass from the second Sunday in September through the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. Rehearsals are Thursday evenings from 7:30 to 9:15pm
The choir is a vibrant spiritual and musical community within our parish. The purpose of the choir is to support the singing of the Assembly, and to provide musical leadership through singing hymns, psalms, acclamations, and choral repertoire. Music selections range from Gregorian chant to music of the present day.
The Festival Choir is open to all who love to sing. No auditions are necessary. High School students are always welcome. Please contact Michael Cedrone if you would like to join.

Singers and instrumentalists are welcome to join the Contemporary Ensemble, which provides music for the Sunday 9AM liturgy twice per month.

The group practices at 8am Sunday to play at the 9am Mass. Please contact Michael Cedrone if you would like to join.
