Our Music Programs

Adult Choir: The Adult Choir meets for rehearsals on Thursday nights from 7:30pm-9pm, warm-ups from 9:30am-9:50am on Sunday mornings, and presentations at the 10am Mass each Sunday. This non-auditioned group welcomes anyone who wishes to sing (ages 15+) – whether you have never sang with a choir before, do not read music, or are a professional singer, the Adult Choir is a place for all to worship through song. The Adult Choir presents a wide array of repertoire, ranging from Renaissance Motets to Contemporary Christian songs, in addition to the weekly selection of hymns.

 
Youth Choir: The Youth Choir rehearses once a month in preparation to sing at the monthly Youth Mass, which is held on the first Sunday of each month. This choir is non-auditioned and open to anyone who wishes to join (ages 7-18) – no musical training or knowledge of music notation is necessary. The Youth Choir presents Contemporary Christian hymns.
 
Contemporary Ensemble: The Contemporary Ensemble accompanies the Youth Choir at the monthly Youth Masses. Guitarists, drummers, bassists, and wind/brass/string players are welcome to join this ensemble. The Contemporary Ensemble is run like a professional group – the musicians receive the music the week before, learn it on their own, and then put everything together in a quick and efficient 25 minute rehearsal (11:00am-11:25am) directly prior to the Youth Masses.
 
Festival of Carols: The Festival of Carols is one of Guardian Angel Church’s most beloved events. This festival includes the Adult Choir, Children’s Choir, a reenactment of the Nativity Story, and of course, great music. Rehearsals begin at the end of November, and take place in the church from 1pm-2:30pm each week until the presentation. Festival of Carols is open to all ages – there is something for everyone to do!
 
Living Stations of the Cross: The Living Stations of the Cross is Guardian Angel Church’s way of ushering in Holy Week. The youth of our parish lead us through a moving reenactment of the Passion of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, featuring Gospel readings, Contemporary Christian music, poetry and other forms of Christian art, all meant to set the stage for the miraculous week that we are about to live through ourselves. Due to the intense nature of this event, youth in grades 7-12 are invited to participate. Whether you sing, act, or read, there is something for everyone to do.
