DUE TO COVID-19, we have made temporary changes reflected below.

Cathedral Choir

Since choir activities are not permitted at this time, we are not having any official Cathedral Choir events or rehearsals at this time.

Young Choristers

Young Choristers is for children in Grades 3 through 8. Children and youth learn to ring handbells for Masses. The children and youth also learn about the Catholic liturgy and history. We will be meeting for 30min. each week for handbell ensemble. The tables are 6-feet long; there will be a mask requirement; and ensembles will be limited to 5 children at a time. Bell handles are sanitized between rehearsals and children have their own gloves and binders.

Rehearsals offered are:

Wednesdays 2PM-2:30PM - section FULL, and closed.

Wednesdays 3PM-3:30PM

Thursdays 2PM-2:30PM - section FULL, and closed.
This choir rings at certain 5PM Vigil Mass at the Cathedral.

If you are interested, but there's not an available time, please contact Mr. Lianos to get on a waiting list - there might be enough interested to open another section.
