Adoremus Choir

Saint Patrick's Adoremus Choir is the central choir serving the Basilica's liturgical life and ceremonies. From its inception just after the millennial year, the choir's focus has been to fulfill the mandate of providing church music suitable to a Basilica in accordance with the Vatican II documents.

The choir focuses on the sacred classics that embody the rich musical heritage that belongs to the Roman Catholic Church. The Ordinary parts of the 12:15 pm Sunday mass are sung in latin.

The Choir has undertaken many projects, such as the 150th Anniversary of Saint Patrick's Parish in 2005, the National Prayer Breakfast on Parliament Hill and Advent Lessons & Carols.

Saint Patrick's Basilica's other choirs are massed for specific occasions as we welcome associate singers to join us for the Christmas season, the celebration of St. Patrick's Day, Holy Week and Easter.

The Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings at 7:30 p.m. in the choir loft. To join the Adoremus Choir, please contact the music director, Francesca Bailey at 613 233-1125 ext 561, or by email at francescabailey4@yahoo.ca.

Choir experience preferred, but not necessary.
