Saint Boniface Church is committed to excellence in music and liturgy

Parish Choir:   The Boniface Parish Choir, well known throghout Sarasotqa, has been the focal point of our excellent music and liturgy for several decades.  Our choir, made up largerly of volunteers, is led by our Music Minsiters and supported by lead singers for each section of voices.  In addition to the primary Sunday liturgy, they also sing several concerts, prepare major music for Christmas and Easter, and perform at least three formal Choral Masses at the regular Sunday worship time, allowing this parish to have the unique opportunity to hear quality concert music in it's proper liturgical context. 

Rehearsals are 1 1/4 hours before the primary Sunday service, and Wednesdays at 7:15 (Oct - May).  To audition as a volunteer or lead singer contact Seth Wertz (349-5616 Ext. 326) in the Saint Boniface music office or by e-mail.

 

Handbell Choir.  Playing five octaves of Schulmerich handbells and three octaves of Malmark chimes, our handbell choir joins the parish choir for seasonal liturgies and special events.   Rehearsals take place Wednesday evenings from 5:30 - 7:00 from October through April.  Contact Seth Wertz in the Music Office at 349-5616 Ext. 326 or by e-mail.
