At St. Patrick Church, our music program is dedicated to serving God by using our musical gifts to lead His people in sung worship.

Choirs lead the music at two Sunday liturgies. The choir at 10:30 am Mass is accompanied by the organ. At 5:00 pm Mass, the choir is accompanied by keyboard, guitar, flute and percussion. Both choirs sing year-round

Organists and cantors lead the music at 9:00 am and 12:00 noon Mass on Sundays, and at the 6:00 pm vigil Mass on Saturday.

In addition, St. Patrick Church has three specialty choirs. The Psalm 23 Choir assists at funeral liturgies in the parish. The St. Patrick School Choir sings at 9:00 Mass on Fridays and on special occasions throughout the school year. The St. Patrick Christmas Choir forms each fall and sings for Advent and Christmas. To enroll a youth in the Christmas Choir, look for announcements each August in the parish bulletin and on this web site.
