There are so many wonderful opportunities to share your faith through music at Holy Name of Jesus. These opportunities are outlined below. To become involved, please contact our Director of Sacred Music, Kraig Windschitl.
Adult Choir leads song in various musical styles, from traditional to contemporary, often accompanied by a variety of instruments. The choir is open to adults, as well as students in grades 9-12, and rehearses from 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesdays. Adult choir sings at the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass, three Sundays a month.
Advanced ringers are invited to lead the assembly and accompany the Liturgy using our five-octave set of Malmark handbells. Rehearsals are on Thursdays from 6-7:30 p.m.
(Adults and High School Singers)
We have occasional opportunities for a men’s and women’s choir or small ensemble. This is especially for singers who cannot commit to weekly rehearsals with our regular choir. Music and listening links are distributed ahead of time and singers are required to attend one or two rehearsals held the week before.
If you would like to join the Adult Choir and sing for Christmas or Easter only, rehearsals are held on three Wednesdays preceding Christmas and Easter. The Christmas Mass is the late Mass on Christmas Eve and the Easter Choir sings for the 8:30 and/or 10:30 a.m. Masses. This group is accompanied by organ, piano and other instruments.
Assist the assembly with the singing of hymns, songs and Mass parts and proclaim the Responsorial Psalm. Audition for this ministry is required.
