Mission

The Archdiocesan Choir provides liturgical music for the celebration of the designated Archdiocesan liturgies and serves as a model liturgical choir for the parishes of the Archdiocese. The growing Archdiocesan Choir is committed to its mission of inspiring beauty and leading the people of God in sung prayer our worship with liturgical music from the sacred tradition of the Church and the many cultures of our region.
