St. Mary Parish, Manchester at 210 West Main Street, Manchester, MI 48158 US - Music at St. Mary

The Roman Catholic Church has a long and rich musical tradition.  Using seasonal cues, lectionary readings, and artistic quality of text and music as guides, we attempt to draw upon these musical riches to support the prayer of God’s people.  We strive toward a good quality of the music itself and of its execution.

St. Mary’s adult choir currently sings monthly (usually the third Sunday) for the 10:30 a.m. Mass from September through May. The choir also provides music for Christmas Midnight Mass, Holy Week and Easter Vigil and other special occasions during the church year.  Rehearsals are monthly (usually the third Wednesday) in the evening from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m..  Extra rehearsals are scheduled as needed.  Requirements for membership are:
