As St. Augustine says, “Singing is praying twice.” Here at Our Lady of Mercy, we are blessed to have two choirs- the Adult Choir and Children’s Choir- that help lead and enhance our worship.
Adult Choir
The Adult Choir sings at the 12 Noon Mass (and occasionally at the 10AM Mass), on major feast days, sacramental celebrations, and other parish celebrations. The choir season runs from the Sunday after Labor Day until the Feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays from 7:30PM-9:30PM in the church. Membership is open from high school age and older. To join the Adult Choir and/or for any questions, please contact Michael Rivera, Director of Music Ministries, at musicministryolmjc@gmail.com or at 201-434-7500 Ex. 103.
Children’s Choir
The Children’s Choir sings at least once a month at the 12 Noon (and occasionally at the 10AM Mass), the Christmas Eve Family Mass, sacramental celebrations, and other parish celebrations. At times, the Children’s Choir sings together with the Adult Choir for special occasions. The choir season runs from late September/early October until May. Membership is open to children from grades 3-8 and who have received their First Holy Communion. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays from 4:30PM-5:30PM in the church. To register your child and/or for any questions, please contact Michael Rivera, Director of Music Ministries, at musicministryolmjc@gmail.com or at 201-434-7500 Ex. 103.
