Contemporary Ensemble
This group of adults & teenagers play, sing & lead contemporary church music at the 5:00 p.m. Sunday Masses. This choir rehearses most Sundays at 3:15 p.m.

Latest News: The Contemporary Ensemble is looking for people of all ages with a talent for singing &/or playing instruments. This exciting group is celebrating its third anniversary. The group currently consists of acoustic & bass guitars, flutes, alto saxophones, drums & other percussion & vocalists. We need more instrumentalists & singers! We also need a sound technician to operate our mixer & soundboard. In addition to warm up & Sunday Mass, musicians need to be able to read music & to commit to a weekly hour practice. We request a brief & low key try-out period, generally by singing or playing with the group several times before playing at Mass. Interested? Contact Dan Keller.
