Overview

St. Paul’s Church is undertaking a major expansion of its musical program under the patronage of Bishop Frank J. Caggiano. A new Choral Foundation is being established centred on professional Men & Boys and Men & Girls choirs. Ahead of the chorister program’s launch and beginning in mid-February, a mixed-voice professional ensemble of 5 singers will sing for Lauds & Solemn Mass on Sundays.

Staff Singers may also choose to be on the cantor rotation, providing music for the Saturday 4:00 p.m. Mass, the Sunday 9:30 a.m. Mass, and the many weddings and funerals held throughout the year. All such services are paid separately.
