According
to Webster's dictionary, a choir is a group of singers used in a Church
Service. However, the Good Shepherd Choir is so much more than that. For
the members, it's a place of belonging where we can share our diverse
talents and bring something "extra" to each Celebration. The genuine
affection of our members for one another and our Ministry is reflected in
the quality of our contribution to the Parish.
We owe so much to the dedication and devotion of those
members such as Linda, Maryann, Peggy and Marge, who have been in the Choir
for over 20 years! We are so grateful for the ones who make us laugh,
especially Anne D., Maryann and, of course, Rich. We are also grateful for
the ones who are not afraid to sing out the first note like Jayne, John,
Deirdre and Ann S. Honorable Mention belongs to our men, Rich, John, Red,
Warren, Tommy and Charlie, who bring a richness that only men's voices can
add. Many have come, gone, and come back again. (We are glad you are back,
Lucy!) We're grateful for those who work so hard and practice on their own,
like Karen and Deirdre, so that they can be as good as they can be for all
of us. From our hard working Sopranos to our ever dependable Altos, each
person contributes to Good Shepherd's Spiritual Life.

We practice on Thursday nights at 8 p.m. in the Church
and we sing at the 12 noon Mass on Sundays.
Our Choir is open to all and auditions are never
required!
Come Sing With Us!
