Our Music program, directed by Martha Sturomski, is
constantly growing and being fine tuned. We have five
fine choirs, as well several cantors, who enhance our
Masses and Liturgical Services.
Adult Choir: Rehearsals Wednesday at 7:30 pm for
this growing dynamic organization. They generally sing
at the 11:15 Mass, except for the first Saturday of the
month when they sing at the 5:30 Saturday Mass. They
also sing for special services at Christmas, Holy Week
and Parish Missions. One of the Highlights of the music
Ministry is a special Christmas Concert/Fund Raiser with
all the choirs. This year’s 14th annual concert raised
over $3000 for the Fishkill Food Pantry.
Children's Choir: Rehearsals Wednesdays at 6 pm.
This wonderful youth group sings on the First Sunday of
every month at 11:15 and for special feasts.
Handbell Choir: Rehearsals Tuesdays at 6 pm. They
perform during the Christmas and Easter seasons, and at
several other special times of the year.
Contemporary Choirs: Rehearsals alternate for
these two choirs on Tuesday’s at 8 pm. They then
alternate during the year performing for the 9:45 Family
Mass. These choirs take summer breaks.
Special Instrumentalists: From time to time
Martha is joined by her husband, Doug, the choir’s
accompanist, in song and instrumental playing on violin,
concertina and handbells. Their daughter, Janine, a
violinist plays frequently at Masses and Special
Services. The music ministry also features a brass
quartet and other instrumentalists during special
seasonal liturgies. We encourage others with musical
abilities, who would like to join this special ministry,
to contact Martha Sturomski at 845-226-6752 for further
information.
