All Souls Choirs and Contacts
Parish Choir
The Parish Choir rehearses on Tuesday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the Church and/or Liturgy/Music Room at the Church (except between Corpus Christi Sunday through August.) The choir sings at the Sunday 10:00 a.m. Mass at the Church, as well as for all Solemn, and other special occasions.
The Parish Choir repertoire embraces music of many styles, periods, and cultures. One week may feature the music of Palestrina and an Afro-American Spiritual the following week. Each Sunday the service music utilizes both contemporary and traditional music in our efforts to minister more fully to the people attending this Mass.
The choir and instrumentalists are featured each Christmas through a special prelude for our Midnight Mass. High school students to adults are invited to join.

Instrumentalists
Whether through the clarity and intricacy of the flute, the haunting timbre of the oboe, the majesty of brass, or the evocative resonance of timpani, instruments add immeasurably to our celebrations. Proficient instrumentalists are encouraged to join our ranks.

Spanish Choir
The Spanish Choir sings regularly at the 12:00 Noon Sunday Spanish Mass at the Church. The choir rehearses at 11:15 a.m. on Sundays in the music room at the Church, so that all members can be present.
The music is accompanied by various instruments including keyboard, guitar, and various percussion instruments. The melodies and rhythms of the music bring exciting flavors of many countries like Mexico, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Colombia.
Various choir members and cantors come together with our Parish and Contemporary Choirs for many solemn parish Masses. These liturgies combine the English and Spanish languages and multi-national cultures to minister through and in the very diversity for which our parish is well-known. Together we are........Somos el Cuerpo de Cristo - We are the Body of Christ!
