The choir will resume singing at the Saturday afternoon Masses at St. Matthias on September 11at 4:30 pm. During the OLR renovations, choir rehearsal will be held at St. James, beginning Thursday, September 9 at 7:00 pm in church. After renovations are complete, we will return to practicing at OLR in the choir loft.
Not only do we look forward to present members returning, but we are also open to new members joining! Both adults and youth, grade 5 or above, are welcome to join. Youth are not required to attend the Thursday evening rehearsal, but should arrive at 3:45 pm on Saturday afternoons at St. Matthias for rehearsal.
Music ministry is open to anyone who can match pitch (“carry a tune”) or play an
instrument. For those who would like to sing, prior experience or the ability to read music is not necessary, and you do not have to be a professionally trained singer. We provide on-the-job training! Please contact Music Director, Michael Collins, at
mcollins@wintonwyomingpr.org or the parish office at 825-8626 if interested in becoming a part of the music ministry.
