Choir

Nativity has many talented voices and instrumentalists and has numerous choirs to lead the congregation in its musical expression of prayer.  In addition to Sunday Masses, the choirs sing for Christmas, Holy Week, prayer services, Confirmations, Thanksgiving, and other feasts and special events.  Members of all choirs should be able to make a commitment to attending most of the rehearsals and to singing at Mass most Saturdays or Sundays.

Traditional Choir

The Nativity Traditional Choir sings for the 9:00 am Sunday Mass throughout the year, Christmas Eve Midnight Mass with the Christmas Chamber Orchestra, the Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday morning Mass with the Easter Brass Quintet, parish Confirmation Mass, and other special occasions.  The repertoire consists of sacred music spanning different periods and styles, such as Traditional hymns, Classical & Romantic choral works, as well as Gospel and Contemporary Catholic hymns.

Rehearsal is on Thursday evenings.

Folk Choir

The Folk Choir also participates in special celebrations that occur during the Church Year– including Christmas Eve, Holy Thursday and Easter Sunday.  The Folk Choir was founded in 1996. Our primary mission is to encourage congregational participation in the singing at mass. We love to enhance the hymns and songs by adding SATB harmonies, as well as our own improvised parts. The Folk Choir enjoys performing Christian music of various styles and times—from ancient to modern!

Membership in the Folk Choir is open to singers and instrumentalists with a heart for ministry, high school age and up.  Auditions for singers are not necessary, but a “good ear,” some previous choir experience and an ability to blend with the other singers would be ideal. Experienced Instrumentalists (guitar, flute, recorder, violin) interested in joining are asked to please consult with the director about openings in our band.
