The Adult Choir at St. Catherine of Sweden rehearses on Thursday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., and we sing each week, September through June at the 9:15 a.m. Mass. We are also present for the Holy Week celebrations as well as Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve. We also share in fellowship at social gatherings held a few times a year to give us the chance to enjoy the bonds of friendship that we have forged. You do not have to be a musician or know how to read music to be a part of the Adult Choir. The only required skill is to be a good listener...listening to those around you, listening to the direction of the director.

The Cantors of the parish lead the assembly in song at all liturgies when music is part of the celebration. A cantor must have a pleasant singing voice as well as a strong stage presence while leading the assembly. Rehearsals are held at a time convenient for both the cantor and the Director of Music.
