Through sung prayer, members enjoy praising God, growing musically and spiritually, and enjoying each other’s friendship. The Choir helps the members of Saint Pius X (the gathered Assembly) to rightfully claim their role as full, conscious, and active participants in the liturgy through their gift of singing. The Choir enriches the congregation singing by adding harmonies and descants (Sing to the Lord, 29).
The Saint Pius X Choirs are comprised of people from the community who possess the musical skills to sing in a choir by adding musical elements beyond the capabilities of the congregation alone (Sing to the Lord, 28). Choir members, like all liturgical ministers, should exercise their ministry with evident faith and should participate in the entire liturgical celebration, recognizing that they are the servants of the Liturgy and members of the gathered Assembly (Sing to the Lord, 32).
The Sunday Morning Choir supports and enriches the assembly in song primarily at the 10:30 a.m. Mass and other special liturgical celebrations.
Expectations:
The Children’s Choir supports and enriches the assembly in song primarily at the 8 a.m. or Noon Masses and other special liturgical celebrations.
Expectations:
The Resurrection Choir ministers to those in our community in need of comfort, healing and peace with the gift of musical support at parish funeral liturgies. The Resurrection Choir also sings at the Mass of Remembrance scheduled near the date of the Commemoration of All Souls.
Expectations:
