Holy Family Parish Schola CantorumHFP Schola Cantorum is an auditioned volunteer choir that sings for our Chant Mass on every 1st Sunday of the Month at the 6pm Mass at St. John the Baptist Church. In addition to that Mass, the Schola also sings on the 3rd Sunday of the month in a rotation of 5 Churches in our Parish. In accordance with the Second Vatican Council's Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, no.116:
The Church acknowledges Gregorian chant as specially suited to the Roman liturgy: therefore, other things being equal, it should be given pride of place in liturgical services.
Therefore our Shola sings Gregorian Chant, Latin Mass Ordinary, and Latin Poliphony and Motets. Rehearsals are held the week of the scheduled Mass on Thursdays at 6:30pm at St. John the Baptist Chruch. For more information contact our Director of Music Andrija Andelic at [email protected]. -
