    • Children's Choir - temporary suspended


      The Children's Choir engages the young people of our community (grades 1 to 5) in the celebration of liturgy and the joy of music. Children rehearse weekly on Thursday afternoons during the school year from 4:00—5:00 pm, and sing during the 9:30am Sunday Mass once a month and at occasional parish events. Adults help with rehearsals and performances.


       

       

    • Basilica Choir

      Its been said that those who raise their voice in song in praise of God prIt's ay twice. That's certainly true of our highly regarded Basilica Choir, which leads the assembly in song at the 9:30am Mass every Sunday from mid-September through June. 
      They also perform a special concert at Christmastime and an Americana Concert around the July 4th holiday each year. While being able to read music is not a requirement for choir members, it helps to have some knowledge of the mechanics of reading a score. The music ranges from Classical to Baroque to American and African Spirituals, traditional Catholic music and even some Hebrew music. 

      The choir members have a weekly practice on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-9:00pm in the Basilica. David Howitt, Music Director at St. Joseph, conducts the choir.

    • Spirit Ensemble

      Music Ministry leads the assembly in song. In tune with the needs of the assembly, it is unparalleled in its ability to arouse the singing voice of the faith community and to empower people to live their lives in the service of the Gospel. Music moves the soul and opens our eyes to God's abundance. 

      The members of the Spirit Ensemble provide musical enhancement and leadership for our 7pm Sunday liturgy. They are ethnically diverse in their membership and musicality. Combining dedicated musicianship and enthusiasm, and incorporating various musical instruments and vocalists, they lead us in praise and worship with much joy and grace. All are welcome to join in this ministry! Practices are held each Thursday evening at 7:30 pm and on Sundays beginning at 5:15 pm leading up to the 7 pm Sunday liturgy. Interested in lending your voice and/or your instruments?
