Music and Choirs

During the COVID-19 pandemic, our choral ministries have been greatly modified. If you are interested in singing in small scholas at our 8:30am or 10:30am Masses or participating in Zoom choir rehearsals, please contact Tony Millette.

Music is an integral part of every liturgical celebration at Santa Maria, and we are always looking for talented vocalists and instrumentalists of all ages!

Our adult choir sings regularly at the 10:30am Sunday Masses, and is also invited to participate in Holy Day Masses and other liturgical celebrations. No experience is necessary - just a heart willing to pray and praise God through song!
The Adult Choir practices on Thursday evenings at 7:30pm in the Church outside the summer months.

We have many youth and teens who share their gift of music at our 5pm Sunday Youth Masses (about twice a month from October through May). Whether you sing or play an instrument (like drums, piano, trumpet, or guitar), are ready to lead the congregation or just want to check it out, you are welcome to sing with our Youth Mass Choir!
The Youth Mass Choir practices on Wednesday afternoons at 6:00pm in the Church, and meets at 4:00pm on Youth Mass Sundays to warm up.

Our Children's Choir meets for a half an hour after school on Mondays from 3:30 to 4:00pm (in between Faith Formation sessions), and sings at the Children's Masses about six times throughout the school year. The Children's Choir is also invited to sing for Christmas Eve and Easter Morning Masses.
