Sing with the St. Austin Parish Choir
-
Starting Sunday, September 11th, the Parish Choir will begin rehearsals on Sundays at 10:15 a.m. in the Music Room (located in the church, downstairs, below the sacristy). The Parish Choir sings for the 11:30 a.m. Sunday Mass and for other special liturgies throughout the year including the 9 p.m. Christmas Mass and during the Sacred Triduum. This is a well-regarded group of musicians from different walks of life, all with different musical backgrounds. There is no audition, however, the ability to sing in tune is expected. The ability to read music is a plus, but not required. We especially encourage men (tenors & basses) to join. Contact Dr. Andrea, or speak to the cantor or any choir member for more information.
