Choir, Chanters, and Readers

There is no liturgy without the Church singers. Church singing is the duty of those to whom God has given musical talents.

At Saint Mary Church the Choir, Chanters, and Readers share in fulfilling the spiritual task of sacred music. They have the awesome responsibility of leading the congregation in prayer.

Let us join the angels in singing hymns of praise.

The Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed states that Orthodox Christians “believe in One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.” The official designation of the Orthodox Church is the “Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church.” The word Orthodox means “true worship.” Orthodox Christians affirm that the Orthodox Church is the living continuation of the Apostolic Church founded by Christ Himself. They believe that the Orthodox Church has maintained the true faith of the undivided Church.
