Music Ministry at Saint Joseph Parish
Parish Choir: The parish choir is open to all parishioners high school age and older. Rehearsals are every Thursday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the church. This choir sings at the 8:30 A.M.

Teen Choir: The Teen Choir is open to all youth of the parish in the 7th through 12th grades. The Teen Choir usually sings at the 11:00 A.M. Mass on the first and third Sundays of the month from September through Pentecost. Rehearsals are scheduled for immediately before the Mass at which we sing as well during the week when needed.
Funeral Choir: This choir is comprised of individuals who tend to be available on weekday mornings and who gather to lend their collective voice in support of congregational singing at the Funeral Mass in addition to the cantor. As funerals are scheduled, members are contacted with the time and date, and a brief rehearsal immediately before Mass will take place. This choir also sings at the annual Memorial Mass on All Souls’ Day (November 2).
Instrumentalists: If you play any instrument (guitar, string, woodwind, brass, or keyboard), we encourage you to get involved with our parish music program. We are always happy to share your talents with the parish for the glory of God!
New members are welcome at any time. We understand that it can be difficult to make every rehearsal, but we invite you to come as you are able! To learn more about Music Ministry at Saint Joseph, phone at the parish office (330-364-6661) or via email: stjosephdovermusic@gmail.com.
