The musical tradition of the universal Church
is a treasure of inestimable value...
it forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn liturgy.

(Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy)
We have a variety of choirs and instrumental opportunities at SVDP, and always welcome new members to join us in praising God through song. All skill levels are welcome and you can come to any rehearsal to check it out.
Join a choir. Give back to your Parish community. Meet new friends and get involved!
Please contact Tony Freeman for more information, or if you would like to join a choir or play an instrument.
News and Upcoming Events
Triduum Choir 2022
As we have done in previous years, we plan to form a “Triduum Choir” for Holy Week. We would like to invite anyone high school age and up to be a part of the Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Vigil choirs.
The rehearsals are listed below with Good Friday being woven into these rehearsals. Please understand that attendance at these rehearsals is very important and requires a commitment from those who wish to participate.
