Our Spirit and Song music group, comprised of high school students and young adults, sings on a monthly basis for Mass as well as for Christmas, Easter, Pentecost, special events and outreach projects throughout the year.
The Youth Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings during the school year and sings for select Masses during Ordinary Time as well as for Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost.
In addition to working on music for the weekend liturgies, all three choirs at Holy Spirit prepare for concert performances throughout the year.
