Our Sunday choirs are parish members who lead worship with singing their praise of God in songs of prayer and praise. The choir serves to enrich the quality of congregational participation and sings at the 8 am and 11 am Mass. We currently rehearse on Sundays. Please contact our music director Mr. Dan Stachelski at daniel.stachelski@stjohnsalden.org if you would like to add your talent to the choir.
The Parish Folk Group came into existence during the leadership of Father Gary Kibler in the 1970s. The group, whose main function is to plan and provide musical/guitar accompaniment for parish liturgies, usually assists at Saturday evening Mass. In addition to the weekend Mass, the group plans and coordinates an annual Children's Mass on Christmas Eve, inviting children of the parish to sing and perform along with them. The folk group is always open to new members; while no specific membership requirements or training is necessary, a love of singing and/or knowledge of music is a plus! The folk group rehearses at 3:15 p.m. (prior to singing at the 4:00 p.m. Mass) on Saturdays, and as needed for special occasions.
"My goal in ministry has always been to bring people closer together and closer to the Lord through music. Anything that I can do to make this a reality is a blessing to me. I hope that we can continue to grow our music ministry together, now and in the future."
Yours in Christ,
