Chamber Choir – David Kimock
The Chamber Choir is a small ensemble that sings advanced music of the choral repertoire from Gregorian chant to American spirituals. The choir sings occasionally at the Saturday, 5:00PM Mass and for special liturgies and concerts. Membership in the Chamber Choir requires a strong commitment to the art, choral singing experience and the ability to read music.

Cantors — David Kimock
These volunteer song leaders are trained, liturgical ministers who lead and encourage the assembly in sung prayer at Mass. The cantor also functions as a psalmist, chanting the verses of the responsorial psalm. The cantor leads the singing when there is no ensemble present, but rather, leads the parish's largest choir, the congregation.
