The Music Ministry at St. Colette Church presently consists of four choirs and one professional cantor under the direction of organist/choir director, Jill Goryca. Membership to any of the choirs presently functioning is always open to interested parishioners.
Choir Ministries
Adult Choir The Adult Choir is a vocal/guitar group of adult mixed voices which presently sings at the Sunday 10am Mass. Their season runs from mid-September through the end of May. Rehearsals for the Adult Choir are on Wednesday nights from 7pm - 8:30pm.
Resurrection Choir The Resurrection Choir is an adult choir of mixed voices which sings at funeral liturgies throughout the year. The Resurrection Choir sings primarily in unison. This choir is “on call” for funeral liturgies during the day, during the church year. Most funeral liturgies occur at 10:30 am Monday – Saturday. An information sheet regarding music selections is available through the church office. Music minister must be contracted for participation by other soloists to coordinate rehearsals, music selection, etc.
Cantors Presently, we have two professional cantors at St. Colette, Ryan Banar & Lauren Perugi. They are available to sing at funerals and weddings. For more information about their availability, please contact Jill Goryca. We encourage singers who are interested in canting to contact the Music Ministry Office. Cantors are needed throughout the year, but especially in the summer months. For new cantors, an audition with the Music Minister is required, and rehearsals will be scheduled on an individual basis.
Wedding Music All couples being married at St. Colette need to contact Jill Goryca to arrange wedding music. Outside soloists and instrumentalists are always welcome, but arrangements must be made in coordination with Jill Goryca.
