St. John XXIII Parish is proud of the rich history of music between our two legacy parishes!

Music at St. Nicholas

Music at St. Nicholas upholds a long tradition of assembly singing and participation in diverse and dynamic liturgy, embracing two principal language groups: English and Spanish.

  • Our English Parish Choir leads the assembly’s song through a broad repertoire of many styles and cultures. The choir sings at English-language and bilingual Mass celebrations.
  • The Coro Hispano supports worship at Spanish-language Masses and bilingual Mass celebrations.  Join the regular groups at either the 8:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. Mass.
  • Instrumentalists support the assembly’s song through sensitive playing of liturgical repertoire.  Strong music reading skills are needed, and previous experience in liturgical settings is a plus.
  • Eventually, we hope to rebuild our Kids’ Choir (grades 3-7) and Teen Ensemble (grades 8-12).  Please be in touch if your child is interested!

Music at St. Mary

​With the current Mass schedule at St. Mary Church, we have combined our two choirs into one for the 10 a.m. Mass, allowing us the opportunity to offer a mix of the contemporary and traditional styles that were unique to the two choirs for so many years. We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 7–9 p.m. in the Parish Center Music Rehearsal Room.
