The Holy Name Choir is a group of dedicated vocalists who sing every week at the 9:15am Sung Mass and on other principal feasts and liturgies throughout the year. Using a repertoire composed of sacred polyphony from both modern and ancient composers, the Choir aims to enhance the beauty and magnificence of the Traditional Mass.
This is an audition-only choir for those with at least a beginning proficiency in ensemble-singing and sightreading. There are no age restrictions but members must be able to read music and sing in pitch.
Both men and women are welcome to join and must be available between 8am-10:30am for both rehearsal and singing at the 9:15am Sunday Mass. Male members may also wish to join the Schola.

The Holy Name Choir sings at all 9:15am Sunday Masses and on other feasts throughout the year, such as Easter, Christmas and Holy Week. As such, there are no set breaks.
Please note that once a commitment is made to sing in the choir there is an expectation that all members attend Sunday rehearsals and Masses. If unavailable, communication with the Choir Director is a must.

The Holy Name Schola is open to all men who have at least a minimal proficiency in singing and reading music. While the primary focus of the Schola is preparing for Saturday and Sunday morning Sung Masses, it also aims to refine talent and build competency in the reading and prayerful recitation of Gregorian Chant and other music used in the Liturgy. Members of the Schola have no obligation to sing at Masses, however, rehearsals will often prioritise the repertoire that will be chanted during the liturgy of that week.
Weekly Rehersal on Mondays evenings from 5:30pm-6:15pm.
Some extra practises before major feasts, e.g. Easter and Christmas.
WHERE: Rehearsals are held in the Holy Name Church Meeting Room.
