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.
