Adult singers (college-age and beyond) in all voice parts are welcome to become part the Cathedral Choir at the Cathedral of Saint Raymond Nonnatus in Joliet, Illinois. Cathedral Choir members maintain an active schedule of midweek and Sunday morning rehearsals from September through early-June, and generally sing at the 11:00am Sunday Mass, as well as numerous diocesan liturgies throughout the year. Advanced singers with strong sight-reading, tuning, and musicianship skills are invited to join the Cathedral Choral Scholars as well.

There are typically two choral calls per week: Thursdays from 7:00-9:30 for rehearsal and Sundays for 11:00 A.M. Mass (10:00 A.M. call time). A complete schedule of liturgies and rehearsals may be found here: http://straymond.net/media/1/16/Cathedral of Saint Raymond Nonnatus 2016-2017 Adult Choir and Choral Scholars Schedule.pdf

Repertoire includes a diverse array of music from Gregorian Chant and Renaissance Polyphony to major choral works by Handel, Faure, Rutter, and works composed specifically for the Cathedral choir.
