Peace of Christ Parish Choirs

^{The role of the parish choir is always ministerial. The purpose of the parish choir is to serve God's people by supporting the singing of the rest of the liturgical assembly. The parish choir often is trained to perform specialized repertoire.}

Previous choir experience or the ability to read music is not necessary to join any of the choirs at Peace of Christ. However, a joyful and prayerful spirit,a willingness to learn music and to work well with others is essential. Attendance at rehearsals is required of all members.
