Saint Giles Parish takes great pride in the number of gifted volunteers who contribute their time and talents to enhance the liturgies in our parish. It is our goal to be a support to the whole congregation, allowing Full, Conscious Active Participation (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy) in Mass.
Adult Choir - The Adult Choir sings three Sundays a month at the 9:30 am Mass and rehearses on Wednesday evenings in the church. One does not have to be a soloist to join the choir; the only requirement is that you enjoy singing!

 Handbell Choir - The Handbell Choir rehearses on Monday evenings and plays monthly at various Masses and all other special liturgical events.
Cantors - The ministry of Cantor requires musical skill, a willingness to take a leadership role, and a dedication to spiritual development. If you are interested in this special ministry, St. Giles offers both group and individual cantor training.
Cherubs - The Cherub choir is open to children in Kindergarten through third grade. They sing occasionally throughout the year and rehearse on Sunday mornings in preparation for their performance.
Children’s Choir - The St. Giles Children’s Choir is open to all children from grades four through eight. They sing for the monthly children and family Mass as well as other special occasions.
 High School Contemporary Ensemble - The ensemble consists of singers and musicians who lead the music twice a month at the 11:15 am Mass. Rehearsal times are scheduled as needed.
Musicians / Instruments - Perhaps you would like to share your gifts as a musician, but cannot commit to a regular schedule? There is always a need for musicians even on a short-term basis.
Men’s Choir – The St.Giles Men’s Choir gathers seasonally. They sing once in Advent, Lent, and the Easter Season. Rehearsals are held for two weeks prior to their performance.
Eighth Grade Choir - The eighth grade choir is composed of singers and musicians. They rehearse weekly and sing at the Wednesday morning parish mass and other special occasions.
