Adult Choir
A Message from our Music Director, Joe Labozetta
Why do we sing?
Our music ministry is, for many parishioners, an important reason why they choose to make St. Josaphat Parish their spiritual home. With dedicated preparation and rehearsal, we seek to enhance the liturgy at St. Josaphat and make a joyful noise!
The goal for our choir is threefold:
- Reflect the character of the celebration, and convey beauty through the expression of musical prayer. As music ministers, we sing sacred music that is meant to complement the prayer that is the Mass or liturgy.
- Encourage full, active and conscious participation on the part of the congregation. We do that by providing a confident and supporting musical fabric into which a congregation can effortlessly join in with their voices. In this way, we lead the congregation in song.
- Offer appropriate choral features for prayer, reflection and meditation. This might be as Prelude (before Mass) or during Offertory or Communion.
If interested in singing with the Adult Choir, please contact Joe Labozetta, Director of Music.

Average two Sundays per month at the 10am Mass. We also sing at important holiday Masses (Ex: Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Holy Week). We occasionally have the opportunity to perform at non-liturgical events like a concert or festival.
